About this 3D model

House Targaryen is one of the former Great Houses of Westeros and the previous ruling royal house of the Seven Kingdoms, before House Baratheon took the Iron Throne. House Targaryen's symbol is a three-headed red dragon on a black background and their motto is "Fire and Blood". Once a noble family of the vast Valyrian Freehold, an empire spanning most of the eastern continent, the Targaryens were given control of the island of Dragonstone in the Narrow Sea some centuries ago. After the obliteration of Valyria in the Doom, the Targaryens launched a devastating invasion of Westeros using three Dragons to spearhead their attack. In a short period of time, six of the seven formerly independent kingdoms had surrendered to the Targaryen leader, King Aegon I, unifying the continent under his rule. The last hold-out, Dorne, joined the kingdom through a political and marriage alliance some two centuries later. The Targaryens adopted the religion and many of the customs of Westeros, but two old Valyrian customs they continued to perform in defiance of public disapproval: Targaryen princes and kings were allowed to have multiple wives and Targaryens were allowed to marry brother to sister, something considered an abominable sin elsewhere in Westeros. During the increasingly erratic reign of King Aerys II, his son Rhaegar kidnapped Lyanna Stark of Winterfell for reasons unknown. This sparked a massive uprising led by Eddard Stark, Robert Baratheon and Jon Arryn. At the end of this war Aerys and Rhaegar were dead and the Targaryen power-base in Westeros destroyed. Aerys's youngest two children were taken by Targaryan loyalists into exile in the Free Cities of the East. The Targaryens have some unusual genetic traits, such as their silver-white hair and an apparent ability to withstand higher temperatures than most people. It is noted that in the latter case, Daenerys Targaryen is specifically shown to have this trait whilst Viserys is noted as not possessing it. Due to the constant inbreeding, insanity has become a common factor in Targaryens. When they ruled the Seven Kingdoms it became a bit of joke among the people for a coin toss to be held to see if the child would be "mad or great". Despite this, insanity does not dominate the bloodline, with Daenerys seen as the exception while her brother is clearly unhinged. How do I make this thing?! Easy! Just follow these general steps, and you'll be lighting up your life in no time. Pay attention, as there will be a quiz later. Download the model to your computer or open it in the Handy app. I suggest downloading it and opening it so you can remove the purge line (Google is your friend here). I also strongly suggest using the included profile, as it contains many little tweaks to prevent problems that are common with these types of lamps (gaps, wisps, separation, etc.) Confirm whether you have enough AMS's to handle all of the colors. I do my best to keep my lamps to 4 colors or less, but sometimes that's just not possible, and a second AMS will be needed. Alternatively, you can build in pauses and conduct manual filament swaps, but you'll need to research how to do that on your own, because I'm not good at that. Ensure your filament colors are in the correct AMS slots that corresponds to the model. Hint: I generally arrange my colors in alphabetical order, because I'm weird like that. Just be cautious of wildcards like "light blue". All of my models come with two different back plates. One will have a hole for those of you that want to hang the lamp on a wall. The other will not have a hole, and that's intended for those of you who will be placing the lamp on a desk or a table or a cat. You do NOT need to print both back plates (or do, I don't care, I'm not your mother). Pick whichever one you want. Some lamps will also come with a base. This is to keep your lamp from tipping over like a drunk toddler if you're placing it on a flat surface. If you're hanging it on a wall, you don't need the base. I strongly recommend using a textured PEI plate, as that will do an excellent job in hiding the print lines, and that's what these prints are tweaked for. But you can use whatever fancy plate you want -- again, I'm not your mom. Once you've got your AMS set up and are ready to go, hit that big ol' PRINT button for the lamp face and then your back plate. I suggest disabling Flow Calibration. Go make a sandwich. You should now have the lamp face and your back plate of choice, and it's assembly time! This first step is optional, but I would suggest picking up aluminum (or aluminium for some reason if you're British) foil tape. Yes, it comes in tape form! Line the inner side of the back plate with the sticky stuff, as it will help tremendously in making your light brighter and with a more even and consistent light. I personally tear off small strips, apply, and then flatten/smooth it out with the edge of a credit card, and repeat until the entire side is shiny silver. Next you're goin
