Printed with Giantarm White Silk and Amolen Pink Silk. 'Skipped' the purge object most of the way through to get the pinkish tips on some of the crystals
Eryone Aurora Dream quad-color silk PLA on a Creality K1SE. I used the 300% plates, scaled to 70% and printed plates 4-8 twice for a 7-foot Mega. Collective print time appx 125.5hrs, just under 2 spools of filament (with enough to make him a little buddy). Eyes teeth and claws are painted with oil-based acrylic paint pens because with the quad-color filament, the CFS caused too much of a twist in the filament with each retraction causing banding in odd places.
My 10yo daughter is in love with your dragons and surprised her with the 300% mega. She flipped out over it. Its aslong as her queen size bed. Totally impractical but amazing and just had to print it.
I wanted smaller versions -- even the "tiny" dragons are too large to fit into a 3D printed egg! So ... on a single plate I printed a 75% scale, a 60% scale, a 50% scale and a 40% scale. Having a full plate helps cycle the rainbow filament faster, and the time/material cost of all those filament changes is easier to bear. I lost one spine linkage in the 40% one, but that might have me being too eager/careless removing it from the plate rather than a manufacturing problem. A spot of glue and who can tell? They are all so cute for different reasons. 25h 28m to print, 300g filament in all. One silk rainbow filament, one silk white filament.
Hi Cinderwing!
Very much a newbie here, and have your dragon printing on my new printer as we speak! I am using a Bambu A1 with Arctic Whisper and white pla. Can't wait to see how it comes out. I'll post a shot when she gets done. So excited!
Newbie here and wanted to print this for my daughter but I have a MK3S+ and looks like it's too big to print? Or can I scale down? Not experienced at all still learning.
This is fantastic! When printed in silk the tips are quite sharp, any chance you could do a kiddie friendly version one day with the tips blunted? It could just be an .stl version
Do you know which color/filament was used for the 6.7ft rainbow print shown? Trying to figure out what colors would look that good, that big! :) thank you
I have no idea, I've never heard of such a thing before. That's so strange! The file isn't anything out of the ordinary. Feel free to jump into my Discord for help. discord.gg/cinderwing3D

You can scale it down to fit, yes
this is my goal by summer is to make this amazing looking dragon!!!
Make sure you post a make I wanna see it!!!!
I am not able to add photos
Why did it print the links like this?
I wish the 300 scale was painted in alt colors!
having trouble getting the 300% pieces to fit on my plates... any suggestions?! I have a flashforge AD5X
Anyone have the 300% head with the coloring for the eyes and white teeth? The one I download is just one color.
Hey! Just as a reminder sharing the 3mf is no different from sharing the STL, which is not allowed. You'll need to paint it yourself, thanks!
How do I get the 300% dragon with .3mf color eyes?
You use the paint tool when slicing! It's fairly easy
You'll need to paint it yourself!
Are there no painted files for the 200 and 300% versions?
There is not
What scale would be best for a 24 inch long dragon?
How do i print the 200% in colors? like the normal size?
I'm not sure I understand your question, but the 200% does not have a paint job, you'd need to paint it yourself!
hey can you give the link to the filament you used in the second photo
I don't remember what it is if it's not on my Amazon page sorry!

All the filaments I used can be found here! https://www.amazon.com/shop/cinderwing3d
