Tip: Please use the optimized version for printing to get better printing results

The Year of the Dragon has specially designed a cute lucky dragon, symbolizing attracting wealth and treasures. The model production was completed in Cinema 4D, and the output model has very high accuracy, which can print larger sizes. In my printing, it is a small size, and I can also see enough details. It can print single colors or multiple colors. I use K's orange metal consumables to print the effect very well. There are several explanations as follows:

  1. There are two versions of the model uploaded, mainly with two designs: the body with scales and the body without scales.
  2. There are no special settings for printing parameters, and printing can be done using preset settings. Experts can test for more ideal printing accuracy on their own.
  3. This version of the design requires the support to be turned on for printing, and the support is also easy to remove. It is recommended to use support consumables to print the support surface, which is easier to remove
  4. There are no requirements for consumables, and personally, I think Kexcelled's metal consumables have very ideal effects

Update: My design has been commercialized as an electric waver

2024.6.20 Update: Please use the optimized version for printing, it has the advantage of less support and easier printing

  5. The model has been separated into parts, so you can print it in multiple colors.

Production process sharing:

In the next version, there will be a design that can be electrically waved, and the shape will be optimized to achieve supportless printing.

Major Update:

The electric waving version of the lucky dragon has been successfully commercialized, the effect is shown in the following video:

It's essential to print at the largest size possible, as it offers a sense of accomplishment, but it's highly recommended to use PLA support material for the supports.

Hi, can you please look into your dragon file that has the scales? Per your own photo, the belly has a large defect. I tried to set up a print for it but I too got the defect (see my photo) I did a “repair file” in the studio program, and it stll came up. I really like your dragon with the scales, but I don’t want to print it if it’s going to have the defect too. can you please look into this? Thanks in advance.

The model is pretty good, but I'm not sure if the supports weren't set up properly, it's difficult to remove, and the details can't be seen closely

It's currently impossible to solve the main support issues, especially inside the mouth. However, it's not a big problem to carefully remove the supports.

I don't know if this was my error, maybe I should have made the infill more and the wall thinker. this was after I took the support off the product. 😢 I love the design.

I changed the infill to 50 and it came out a whole lot better.
