Description
This dragon is built around my 6mm ball joint system and fully articulated for dynamic posing.
The highlight of this version is the folding wing mechanism, inspired by a Japanese folding fan.
Assembly Guide
The dragon itself is assembled using the ball joints, as shown in the image above.
For the wings, I prepared a separate video guide, which you can find further below.
Print Tips
The wings must be printed at 0.08 mm layer height, as specified in the print profile.
Otherwise, they will not open and close smoothly.
Make sure your print bed is clean and your nozzle is in good condition.
Since the wing mechanism is very fine-mechanical, I strongly recommend using well calibrated filament.
More MiniMechs projects are planned.
The main focus will be additional insect inspired designs, as well as other lifeforms that fit the theme, such as underwater creatures like crabs, squids, and other imaginative beings.
Good ideas and suggestions are always welcome and truly appreciated.
