Knitted Dragon
Knitted Dragon so this was a fairly lengthy build with the knitted texture. The head and wings print separately. and it is a large print. i can't guarantee the ball and socket joints if scaled down too far. The Wings... Print with 3 walls The wings print separately, mainly so there is not a flat surface and both side can have texture. They print in a small container which is pre supported. add a brim to the container and ensure you have good adhesion. I went through a lot of tests to get the right number of supports in the container that would allow it to be supported but also easy to break free. To break free just a gentle twist to break the supports. don't worry too much about trimming as they help with a little resistance in the socket. (if you print with 2 walls there is a potential for the wing to snap when removing for m the container) The Head... The head prints separately and attaches with a ball and socket joint. Be cautious when using mattes and silks as they tend to be much weaker for joints. and i wouldn't recommend. To attach the head. Very gently push on the socket twisting slightly being super careful to not break the joint. Once on there should be a nice resistance and posable. As Always the model is made up from separate bodies allowing for easy colouring using the paint fill tool. set paint fill to 90%.
Filaments used. the red blue version is all Bambu matte pla ( yes i risked it after advising against matte above) the other version it a gradient by Chitu systems/conjour 3d, bought of amazon. Ive printed at 0.16 but 0.2 layer height is fine.
