I. Main Features of the Project

1. Cute Cartoon Dragon Integrated DesignA mini sitting Toothless dragon figure with round big ears, oversized round eyes, and mini wings. The overall lines are soft without sharp edges, creating a healing and cute style, highly adaptable for desk and figure cabinet decoration.
2. Integrated Solid Stable BaseThe entire model is integrally formed with a flat and wide base, sufficient self-weight, making it stable and not easy to tip over, no additional counterweight needed, strong stability for static display.
3. Delicate Cartoon Texture DetailsFully restores back spines, wing wrinkles, facial features, and paw lines. The 3D print layer lines naturally have a delicate matte texture. The blank unpainted model allows for free hand-painting and coloring, offering large DIY creative space.
4. Multi-functional and Versatile DesignPrimarily serves as a trendy desktop ornament, but can also be used as car interior decor, cake decoration, holiday gifts, miniature landscape accessories, or a prototype for keychains.

III. 3D Printing Settings (General Parameters for 0.4mm Standard nozzle)

Option A: PLA (Low Cost, Indoor Static Display)

• Layer Height: 0.15mm (perfectly restores fine details of spines and wings; 0.2mm layer height optional for faster printing)
• 3 walls (wall thickness ≥1.2mm, enhances overall drop resistance)
• Infill: 15% honeycomb infill, balancing weight and structural stability
• Nozzle Temperature: 200–210℃
• Bed Temperature: 65℃ for the first layer, then 60℃ to prevent warping.
• Print Speed: Outer wall 35mm/s, infill 55mm/s
• Supports: Only partial supports are needed for the tips of the small wings on both sides; the main body does not require supports.
• Bottom thickness 1.2mm, top layers 1.0mm
• Limitations: Not resistant to high temperatures or direct sunlight; prone to cracking if dropped forcefully; not suitable for prolonged exposure to direct sunlight in vehicles.

Option B: PETG (Drop-Resistant and Durable, Recommended for Vehicles / Long-term Display)

• Layer Height: 0.15mm
• 3-4 walls (1.2–1.6mm, stronger toughness, impact resistant and not easily brittle)
• Infill: 15%–20% honeycomb infill
• Nozzle Temperature: 240–250℃
• Bed Temperature: 70–75℃ sustained throughout
• Fan: Off for the first layer, full speed after the 3rd layer
• Print Speed: Outer wall 30mm/s, infill 45mm/s
• Supports: Simple supports added only to wing tips
• Optimized Settings: Enable ironing function for a smoother surface finish, making sanding and coloring easier.
• Key Advantages: Excellent toughness, drop-resistant, high-temperature resistant and not easily deformed, longer lifespan for in-car or daily play.

Additional Printing Tips

1. Size Scaling Reference: Desktop mini 80–100mm; regular ornament 120–150mm; large painted model 180–220mm; keychain version 50–70mm.
2. Post-processing Optimization: After printing, sand down burrs from support points. Eyes can be hand-painted with acrylic paints, and the entire body can be colored. Spray with matte/gloss protective varnish to enhance texture.
3. Maintenance Instructions: PETG models can be wiped clean directly with a damp cloth; PLA models should be kept away from heaters and high-temperature areas like sun-exposed car windows.
