Dragon, sliced

thingiverse

I stumbled upon this dragon https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/31578-dragon/ by https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/70229-albaro_3d, however, it was a single piece. I utilized meshmixer to divide it into separate components. With the aim of achieving maximum printability and minimal support material, I sliced the object carefully. This proved particularly challenging with the mouth area, so I had to detach the upper section from the lower portion. This is my first time slicing an object for 3D printing, so it's not flawless. I added connecting pieces but since I was unable to create perfect cubes in meshmixer, I fashioned "+"-shaped connectors where feasible. These are not intended for a seamless connection but rather as a tool to facilitate better bonding of the parts together. Someone with more experience can undoubtedly produce a superior result than me. The photo displayed is the fully printed piece, assembled and glued together with rudimentary gap filling (utilizing putty). To print this model successfully, you will likely require supports from the build plate but may not need any support material from the model itself.
