geodragon is a tolerance test toy of a simple geometric dragon with print-in-place hinges and joints. The whole model is one single piece and needs no supports and no assembly; the whole dragon comes off the build plate in one piece. I was inspired to make it after the popularity from my previous model, miniman.
The geodragon fits perfectly on the A1 mini and so can be printed on all Bambu Lab printers (as of Jan. 2024).
Each part has a 0.2mm clearance in which the body parts should not fuse together. If your printer and material is tuned well, your parts will print with minimal to no fusing and the hinges and articulation points can all move freely without falling apart.
The tail features ball-and-socket joints, while the rest of the model uses gate hinges and ‘disc’ joints. The mouth opens up too!

For those dragon lovers, the geodragon is a wyvern, with two legs and two wings, based on this popular graphic shared online.
Some notes I've found while testing:
Good luck printing!
