About this 3D model

The Lunar New Year is almost upon us, and with it being the year of the dragon, I felt this was appropriate! It's entirely 3D printed, but the end result looks like it's an embroidered patch! If you need to resize this model, please only resize the X and Y dimensions and NOT the Z dimension! The print model included (both the 3MF and the STL) are printed at 0.08mm layer height, however I also printed this at 0.04mm and the difference in quality was negligible. the 0.04mm version took approx. 10 hours, so I have decided to provide the profile for the 0.08mm layer height which will only take about 5 hours or so on a Bambu Printer. If you need to resize this model, please only resize the X and Y dimensions and NOT the Z dimension! The 3MF has the layer swaps already coded in for Bambu Studio/Bambu printers, and uses 5 colours. You can get away with 4 and drop the orange layer, I reckon! If you're not using a Bambu printer, download the STL and use the following instructions: Printing Instructions: Print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.2mm Filaments Used: - PLA BambuLab Matte Charcoal Transmission Distance: 0.6 - PLA BambuLab Basic Red Transmission Distance: 5 - PLA CC3D Orange Transmission Distance: 8 - PLA CC3D Lemon Yellow Transmission Distance: 8 - PLA Kingroon White Transmission Distance: 8 Swap Instructions: - Start with Charcoal - At layer #7 (0.68mm) swap to Red - At layer #11 (1mm) swap to Orange - At layer #13 (1.16mm) swap to Lemon Yellow - At layer #19 (1.64mm) swap to White for the rest. _______________________________________ If you'd like to support me, I now have a Patreon !
