[Update]

Free 3mf file released!!  If you want to make multiple prints, use various 3mf for Bambu and Prusa.

This is Flexi Japanese Dragon. This model is based on Japanese dragons, especially those of Katsushika Hokusai: 葛飾北斎 (1760-1849).

Comparing the head with Western dragons, the jaw shape is similar to that of a fish, so the mouth looks downward, and the face is similar to that of a human, as there is a tradition that it looks like ogre: 鬼. In addition, compared to the original Chinese dragon, the Japanese dragon has three fingers, spiky hair (or thorns instead of hair), fewer branched horns (or no branches), and other minor differences. I kept these differences in mind during the design process.

Print in Place with no supports and no assembly required. In addition to the standard Flexi Dragon-like size model, a medium size model, reorganized in a lizard style, is included. The medium size requires 30% less filament and time to 3D print than the large size; if 3D printing time is a concern, the medium size is a good choice. If you have belt printer, it is recommended to use a straight type model.
