It has been almost two years since the Imperial Dragon made its debut, so I figured it was finally time for another :)

I am so excited about this model with the added pop-in wings, opening mouth with fire, and improved stability in the head feature. The mostly print-in-place design allows for easy color combinations.

As you can tell, the spikes are reminiscent of the original dragons design, but have been upgraded to improve printability and to add stability to head and neck!

Print Settings and Info:
- 15% infill, 3 walls, .12 or .16 layer height preferred
- I use a disappearing purple glue stick for great adhesion, especially on the smaller prints
- 50% Mech Dragon in Bambu Ocean to Meadow PLA
- 75% Mech Dragon in Stronghero Galaxy Red with Sunlu Silver Wings and Fire
- 100% Mech Dragon in Shengtian Rose Gold (it is definitely shiny chocolate brown) , Wings and Fire in TTYT3D Rainbow

I will be adding photos of the painted dragons when completed, but REALLY wanted to get this out before the holiday travels begin.

Wishing all of you a wonderful Holiday Season, Safe Travels, and Happy Printing -Dan
