CRYSTAL DRAGON 3D print model

In ancient times, when humanity lacked the technology to craft spears and the night was a shadow darker than one's most fevered dreams, Crystal Dragons held supreme dominion over the world. They soared unencumbered through the firmament with an unfaltering resolve, their hearts afire with an insatiable passion for magical crystals that amplified their invincibility. Yet fate had other plans... The design of the dragon bust was conceived primarily for high-precision printers such as those utilizing Digital Light Processing (DLP) and Stereolithography (SLA). Its proportions were expertly reduced to half its original size, thereby streamlining it for effortless printing. It is advisable to orientate the model identically to the slicer screenshots, sidestepping the need for support structures beneath the delicate thorns altogether. I suggest creating a hollow version of the model and carefully situating holes at the optimal locations to alleviate any printing challenges that may arise. Although a modicum of force will be required to properly set the jaw, caution must be exercised as excessive pressure can result in structural instability and even damage to the print. The design was successfully printed on my Anycubic Photon, leveraging a cutting-edge Ameralabs AMD-3 Grey resin. The printing parameters I employed were meticulously optimized: 6 base layers, a base exposure time of 60 seconds, layer thickness of 0.03mm, and normal exposure time of 4.4 seconds.
