Dragon Skin - 3d fabric

This model isn’t mine; it was created by @SKFactory and published on Printables. 
Unfortunately, the print profile wasn't available, so I had to experiment a bit to find the best settings.
 

First off, I set the model to be printed with "variable layer height." While this made the print a bit slower, the results were definitely superior.

I also used Hilbert curves for the top layer finish to enhance the visual appeal.

When I saw that this file wasn't available on Makerworld and that the license it was published under allows sharing with attribution, I thought the work and testing I did could be useful for others, making it easier to print directly from the app.

As for materials, @SKFactory has done prints in TPU, which I haven’t tried yet. Given the design of this file, I’m sure it would work great in TPU as well, making this "skin" even more comfortable, especially for cosplayers.

Hope this helps!
