I am pleased to finally release my completely unique dragon fountain after months in creation, I decided to build this as a fun project that grew over time and I'm so happy with the results.
All you need to make one for yourselves is -
The fountain itself, I use this one in the link provided but there are many similar under a different brand name for even cheaper prices (just search for the product description if you wish to find a cheaper price) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0CHB45V15/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

You will also need a small amount of glue and some thick tape for sealing (not essential)
I have provided an optimised print profile but the settings are as follows
Body - printed with tree supports / gyroid infill at 0.24 layer height
Dragon - printed with tree supports / gyroid infill at 0.24 layer height (can be adjusted if you wish to alter print speed and quality
Middle top/ bottom & Side covers - Standard slicer setting will print fine
Sides - Standard supports with standard setting will be fine (you can adjust the orientation if you wish to print without supports
Printing in multi-color is a huge project but is very satisfying
Building is simple at takes just minutes
Remove supports & clean
Once your happy with the quality simply place the body over your fountain
Insert the middle bottom and hold the middle top to the roof of the fountain & insert the sides - no glue necessary, the sides will hold the top and bottom tightly
Before placing your dragon it's recommended to place some thick tape on the underside of the top to slightly raise the dragon from the fountain, this helps direct the flow of the steam through the dragons mouth I used some 2mm thick double sided tape to hold the dragon on the roof top
Glue your side covers to the sides of the body in their allocated slot
And that's it, it's a simple process but I will happily guide anyone who needs assistance.
I have provided a blank roof for anyone who wishes to print without the dragon & a split dragon for anyone who wishes to print a resin dragon in multiple pieces
Have fun printing.
