Adalinda: The Singing Incense Serpent

thingiverse

This remix showcases Loubie's breathtaking dragon sculpture, Adalinda: The Singing Serpent (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:246198). I've enhanced the design by adding a channel through the print, just like Loubie did, to make it seem as though Adalinda is singing. Building upon this idea, I modified the print to include a reservoir that can hold a 1-inch incense cone. To use this mesmerizing dragon figurine as an incense holder, simply light up your incense, create a robust coal, and place Adalinda on top. Enjoy the tranquility! Please remember: never leave burning incense unattended. You'll need to put some aluminum foil or place the entire print in an incense bowl to prevent the incense from burning through your table. Some types of incense can create a residue inside the air channel, just like you'd encounter in your house chimney. If you notice an unusual smell emanating from Adalinda or see buildup of soot and debris inside the channel, attempt to clean it as best you can to prevent accidental ignition. The chances are very slim, but this warning is included for safety. Instructions: Firstly, according to the original instructions: To print her successfully with PLA, make sure to use a generous amount of cooling. When printing with ABS, an enclosed environment is preferred as excessive cooling may cause the model to crack. It's crucial that your filament is measured accurately (to maintain a precise flow rate) as excess material will show up in the print and compromise its clarity. Additionally, this design can be scaled up as desired but scaling it down is not recommended. The reservoir's size at this scale is optimal for holding a 1-inch incense cone. Any smaller and issues may arise. This model was downscaled from the original to fit on a tiny build platform, so feel free to maximize her scale!
