Flexi Factory Imperial Dragon
Added 2022-04-05 16:05:06 +0000 UTC( Note: Check April 8 post for most updated file )
When I worked in gaming, my boss would make fun of me because I would name files as "Final" like "temple_final.fbx" By the time it got implemented it would be named "temple_final_05.fbx" (5 revisions after final) 😁
Maybe being a perfectionist didn't make sense in gaming but I feel like it works for me here.
So...final updates :)
*Looser spike connections
I still felt that the spikes linked together too tight possible causing them to break when pushed at the wrong angle. It's still possible to break them but now it's minimized further.
*Fixed Leg weld
also I fixed a problem with the last push where the leg was welded a little to the body. Thank you Michelle w for pointing this out. My apologies, If you are currently printing this version its not too tough to wiggle the leg free.
Included are 4 STL's (use the one that best fits your print bed)
*Flexi Factory Dragon Square Bed.stl
(use this for a square print bed...Most Printers)
*Flexi Factory Dragon Wide Bed A.stl
(slightly wider...Prusa or similar)
*Flexi Factory Dragon Wide Bed B.stl
(even wider...good for Resin Printers)
*Flexi Factory Dragon Printmill.stl
(straight version...only good for a printmill)
The head is able to sit up due to interlocking spikes on his back. Once printed be careful not to push the spikes too hard before you learn the proper technique especially with silk PLA, which is more brittle (think slide together rather than press together) They should loosen up as you play with it.
Comments
It depends on which file you use and the size that you print it. The model is scalable up or down

Dan
2022-04-08 23:01:16 +0000 UTCThat is a beautiful green. Is that mint?
MegaObi
2022-04-08 19:08:39 +0000 UTCIt should, I think you have too big a safe area. but it should scale fine
Dan
2022-04-08 18:24:47 +0000 UTCI had a power outage yesterday and because I upload to octoprint, I couldn’t resume the print. I had to start over, but, he turned out AMAZING! He finished around 4pm this afternoon.

2022-04-08 04:33:39 +0000 UTCLooks like an ender 3 pro wont fit this without scaling?
Adam
2022-04-08 00:15:53 +0000 UTCA is a little wider. Good for a Prusa or something similar. B Is even wider. Cant think of any FDM printers that are this wide, it was a special request for a Resin printer. I am updating the post with that info.
Dan
2022-04-07 14:23:51 +0000 UTCWhat the difference between wide A and wide B?

2022-04-07 06:57:47 +0000 UTCI was looking in cura threads to find what I changed that was causing this. It never dawned on me it was a different file that I was slicing until I logged in here today. >facepalm< We were spittin pearls (f.tuck0369 on tiktok) from both machines and then train wreck. Thank you for the update. I also agree with the different filenames. My cipher is: 90.r.FlexiDragon.p.gcode = size.(r)aft/(s)kirt/(n)aked.print name.(p)rototype/(P)roduction.gcode Thank You @FlexiFactory for the update!

2022-04-07 01:24:05 +0000 UTCgood point. I will make sure I change the name in the future. you can see the error of the old one in the slicer. About half way up the left thigh it joins a little with the body.
Dan
2022-04-06 22:23:31 +0000 UTCthe old ones and the fixed ones have the same name? i am consused. hope I am printing the fixed one.

2022-04-06 17:57:06 +0000 UTCI would love to figure out a way to split him in 1/2 and reconnect so I can print even bigger than my Ender-3 bed! lol

2022-04-05 20:58:35 +0000 UTCI just finished the last final version this morning! Awesome design. Downloading the new one, just in case. This result was printed at 75 or 80%, I can't remember which. https://gyazo.com/5c7b60f98c3ab2413cd5a377ede59b4a

Christina Knoll
2022-04-05 16:14:43 +0000 UTCThe original is still the easiest to print of all the dragon models. Great design!
