FC Porto - Dragon Stadium - Estádio do Dragão

English 🇬🇧

Title: FC Porto - Logo Dragon Stadium (Large Wall Art)

Description: This is a detailed replica of the iconic Dragon symbol found at the Futebol Clube do Porto stadium (Estádio do Dragão). I designed this model split across 5 plates to allow for a large-scale print that looks impressive on any wall.

✨ Key Features & Updates:

• Smoothed Vectors: I completely refined the design to ensure perfect curves, eliminating the pixelated "stepped" look of the original logo.
• Face-Down Printing: The model is oriented to be printed with the visible face against the build plate. This guarantees a perfectly smooth or textured finish (depending on your plate) and eliminates top-surface defects like pillowing.
• Robust Size: 5mm thickness for a premium, sturdy feel.

⚙️ Critical Print Settings (Please Read): To achieve the best results and ensure the parts fit together perfectly:

1. Orientation: Print FACE DOWN (as oriented in the file).
2. Supports: REQUIRED for the connector tabs.
   • Type: Normal (Auto)
   • Style: Snug (Recommended for easy removal and clean connectors).
3. Wall Generator: Arachne (Mandatory).
   • Why? The dragon has very sharp tips and thin details that the "Classic" generator will miss.
4. First Layer:
   • Speed: 30 mm/s (Slow).
   • Why? Ensures the plastic perfectly fills the texture of the PEI plate for a flawless look.
5. Infill: 10% Gyroid (Strong and saves material).
6. Cooling (Anti-Warping):
   • Aux Fan: OFF (0%).
   • Why? Strong side cooling causes large flat parts to warp/lift off the plate.

Assembly: The model features built-in connector tabs to align the parts during gluing.

• Note: Since the model is printed face-down, you will see the connector tabs and support interface on the top side of the print (which becomes the back of the wall art).

Title: FC Porto - Logo Dragon Stadium (Wall Art)

Description: This is a detailed replica of the iconic Dragon found at the Futebol Clube do Porto stadium (Estádio do Dragão). I designed this model split across 5 plates to allow for a large-scale print that looks impressive on any wall.

✨ Key Features:

• Smoothed Vectors: I completely refined the design to ensure perfect curves, eliminating the pixelated "stepped" look of the original logo.
• Face-Down Printing: The model is oriented to be printed with the visible face against the build plate. This guarantees a perfectly smooth or textured finish (depending on your plate) and eliminates surface defects.
• Robust Size: 5mm thickness for a solid and premium feel.

⚙️ Critical Print Settings (Please Read Before Printing): To ensure the parts fit and do not warp:

1. Orientation: Print FACE DOWN (as in the file).
2. Supports: REQUIRED only for the connectors/tabs.
   • Type: Normal (Auto)
   • Style: Snug (Recommended because it is easier to remove and leaves the connector clean).
3. Wall Generator: Arachne (Mandatory).
   • Why? The dragon has very thin tips that the "Classic" mode fails to draw.
4. First Layer:
   • Speed: 30 mm/s (Slow).
   • Why? Ensures that the plastic fills the plate's texture well for a visually perfect finish.
5. Infill: 10% Gyroid (Safe and economical).
6. Cooling (Anti-Warping):
   • Auxiliary Fan (Aux Fan): OFF (0%).
   • Why? Side airflow on Bambu printers causes large, flat parts to lift from the corners of the bed.

Assembly: The model includes integrated connection tabs to help align the parts when gluing.

• Note: Since the part is printed upside down, you will see the connectors and supports on the top side of the print (which will be the back of the wall piece).
