Dragon Boat

thingiverse

This is an 11-inch scale model of a racing dragon boat that I've designed for my own use, but thought others might find useful as well. I didn't create the dragon head or tail designs used in competitions, but you can easily adapt existing models to fit your needs. Since most print beds aren't large enough to handle this design, I split it into two parts and keyed them together with pins that you'll need to glue in place. The model includes a small drum and seat commonly used in racing. **Update:** To make assembly easier, I've added more clearance around the pins that join the two halves of the boat. If you're using the original files, you might find that the holes are too small due to shrinkage or resolution issues. In this case, simply drill a small hole to create enough space for the parts to fit together.
