Articulated Ocean Dragon

Hello everyone, I’m P1lotz, a professional 3D artist from Scandinavia, and I have been working in this field since 2019. I’m excited to introduce my latest creation: the Ocean Dragon!

 This model's filament is sponsored by Chitu Systems. For this particular model, I used their green PLA+ filament, which is a high-quality material with a unique colour. While they offer other colours, I particularly enjoy using the green one.

Thank you so much to Chitu System for sponsoring this project.

1. Body articulates ✓
2. Legs move up and down✓
3. Tail moves freely around ✓
4. Head articulates ✓
5. Prints in one piece ✓
6. No support needs ✓
    

Print settings 

• The dragon does not need much infill. I recommend between 10% and 20%, but 5% works as well.
• The dragon does not need any support for printing.
• The dragon can usually be printed directly on the printing bed. If any troubles occur, I do recommend printing with rafts. 
• I advise avoiding using adhesion while printing the model and instead using rafts to avoid problems with articulation.

The model was created using Blender 3D. I am currently working on a detailed tutorial that will explain the design process, so stay tuned if you want to learn how to create your own model.
