Flexi steampunk dragon featuring my new experimental articulated joints as seen on my latest model releases.

A highly detailed model where the joints can be clicked into position, with added articulated arms and wings. The ball sockets on the links throughout the dragons body can be clicked to maintain stable positions if desired, useful for posing of the model and to give the standard articulated design commonly seem an added twist.

Due to the force required to click the joints it recommended to avoid using brittle filaments such as silk if you intend to use the joining function. I have included an stl file containing just the joints to quick print the links if you are unsure if your filament is strong enough for the design.

Model is completely print in place supports aren't required on the body or wings however it's more suitable to uses supports on the wings only, I have successfully printed without supports for the wings with just an increased size brim but it's safer to print with to avoid any failures towards the end of the print.

Wall size is fine at the standard 0.42, i ran the walls at 90 with gyroid infill with 100% success, tested with many filaments and sizes. (silk is too weak when assembling the joints typically) and brim on.#

Can be scaled in size up or down. If scaling down the smallest recommended size would be 75 percent maximum to ensure the joints still work. If scaling up the limit should be your machines full bed capacity, and of course a larger print will mean a stronger model.

Any questions just ask and share if you enjoy the print.
