Western Dragon Masquerade Masks

I've created more masks to send out the Year of the Dragon in style! They complement my Fae Dragon masks from earlier this year.

This Western one is inspired by Spyro the Dragon.
Designed for use in a costume ball or masquerade, these masks are small, lightweight, and packed with great surface textures that show up even at 0.20mm layer height!

You can find the colours I used in my examples in the “Bill of Materials” section.

Please be aware that, due to the required printing size to make a wearable mask, this model is not suitable for an A1 mini.

Wearing the mask

Holes for threading straps are found on the sides, below the horns/ears.
The holes can fit up to around 10mm thick cords. The thicker the cord/strap, the better support you'll have keeping the mask on.
The mask was sculpted over a standard styrofoam mannequin head model (Find it here) which makes the cut-up mask suitable for most adults to wear, but the all-in-one mask may be too small for them. The “all-in-one” cannot be scaled any larger as it will not fit the build plate. Use the cut-up version if you want it larger.

Print Set-up

Assembly is required.
Due to the build plate size limitations, it is split into multiple sections: face and horns. Scale these parts all at the same time to make a larger mask and to ensure the plugs will still fit.
The forehead horn has been cut off on the Western Dragon to allow you to print all 3 horn parts in a different colour to the face without needing an AMS.
I have adjusted flush volumes for printing on an X1C, to reduce filament waste and printing time.

All cut parts are attached via plugs. If the plugs do not fit, I recommend sanding them first. I would also advise you to glue parts together to ensure they don't come off during use.
An “All-In-One” plate for the Western Dragon is provided for those who wish to print the mask in one piece with an AMS, but this size is only good for small people and children, so is not recommended for large adults.

Supports are required to print the mask; without them, the mask will not print well, if at all.

1. Turn supports ON.
2. Set the type to “Tree - Auto”.
3. Set the style to “Hybrid”.
4. The threshold angle should be unchanged (the default is 30).
5. Tick the “on build plate only” box.

Using a brim is optional, but is highly recommended, as the mask profile is narrow it is at risk of coming off the hotbed without the brim. The horns should not need a brim at all, but it's safe to still use them.
