VERSION 2 OF SHENRON IS A SEPERATE FILE. THIS VERSION NO LONGER RECEIVES UPDATES.

--What's Changed in V2?-- Version 2 has been made from scratch, with improved link design, greater detail, and more accurate source material features.

The model will be for sale ONLY and can be found on the following pages: https://www.printables.com/@zuperbuu_1527797 https://cults3d.com/en/users/zuperbuu/3d-models https://www.crealitycloud.com/user-profile/1399948366

The 3MF is the only file with paint data on it, and it will only open in Bambu Studio (the software it was made on.)

IMPORTANT: If you use a P1S/P1P and experience issues printing the top of the head, please configure the print profile speed to 80mm for the outer wall, and give the model 3 walls.

If you use the Textured PEI plate, a brim is necessary regardless of what machine you use. A brim is not needed if you use the Cool Plate in an enclosed machine, that has a stable temperature. This Shenron model comes in two sizes; short, and long. The short dragon has 12 joints down its body, the long has a whopping 31 joints!

The whiskers are just strips of filament that I have glued into the holes on the side of the muzzle, a filament size of 1.75mm fits in the holes nicely.

I printed mine without a brim; providing your hotbed is clean/freshly glued, you shouldn't need a brim either. Supports are not needed for this model; do not use them or the model can break when you remove it from the supports!

Be aware that the long version of the model gets VERY close to the plate edges, so you won't be able to make this model any larger. I wouldn't print it any smaller as the joints will likely lose strength.

The joints can move in almost all directions, though the hips have the least movement. The arms and legs do not move.

You can see the range of movement in the video.
