No.5 The Year of the Dragon (Long) - Chinese Totem

[The Sovereign of the Skies]

After the Buffalo and the Tiger, I am happy to present the third and most majestic chapter of my collection: the Dragon. In Chinese culture, the dragon is not just a mythological creature, but the supreme symbol of power, fortune, wisdom, and nobility. With this design, I wanted to capture its legendary essence, focusing on sinuous lines, strong dynamism, and meticulous care for every single scale.

[The Zodiac Project]

This model represents the third release of my collection of 12 animals dedicated to the Chinese zodiac.

📌 A small note on the order: Even though the Dragon traditionally occupies the fifth position (No.5) in the zodiac cycle, the sequence in which I will release the models follows exclusively my artistic inspiration and personal interest, without any link to the classic chronological order!

If you have already printed the first two travel companions, this Dragon will be the true centerpiece of your collection. Follow my profile to not miss the next steps and complete the entire set!

[Print Specifications - Tested on Bambu Lab]

The file has been meticulously calibrated and tested to guarantee a smooth printing experience and a clean result even on the most complex details:

  • Recommended filament: Bambu PLA Silk (Gold) or PLA Basic (White).
  • Layer height: The preset profile uses a standard height of 0.2 mm, excellent for an ideal compromise between time and quality. However, I strongly recommend lowering it to 0.16 mm if you want to maximize the precision of the mythological details of the head and mane.
  • Supports: Already optimized and integrated into the profile. They detach with extreme ease, leaving the underlying surface impeccable.
  • My advice: This model performs best with Silk filaments (silk effect, especially in shades of gold or jade) to replicate the effect of a true traditional statuette. Alternatively, using the Bambu AMS system will allow you to create splendid color contrasts on the flames and muzzle details!
