Nidhögg - Articulated Dragon

Model Overview & Print Notes

Hello! I present to you my articulated dragon model. Its print in place and require no supports . Made with a use of Blender. I encourage you guys to post a make after printing. Im curious of your filament choice and the print result! Before you print: I do not recommend scaling the model down! The connectors on the descending parts of the tail are already small in the default scale. Beware: The slicing will take some time . For me it was even up to 10 minutes. For complicated structures its normal. Ive tried printing the dragon with 0.4 , 0.5 , and 0.6 nozzles with 0.2/0.16/0.12 layer height - all ptints turned out successful . Try your own settings and let me know whats the limit :D The Reduced Size file is exactly what the name suggests - since the orginal STL weights more than 500mb, I used MeshMixer to reduce it a bit. I haven't printed the reduced version, but the model doesn't look like it has lost any quality. Idea for the project: The model is based on the Nordic dragon Nidhogg . So the goal here is long, snake-like body structure and demonic, hostile appearance. Can't miss the claws, horns and numerous spines growing from the body. The dragon is mainly stationed in underground of the sacred tree ( Yggdrasil ), and his supposed demise comes during Ragnarök. In my project, Im depicting Nidhogg as a decaying skeleton, for millennia resting underground - a place where he spent almost his entire life. My project is the result of a master's thesis about dragons. If you can read Polish, my text work is attached - the third chapter illustrates the process of creating the model. If you are interested, check it out. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Huge thanks to YouTube channel P1lotz . With the help of his video guide on the topic, I created the project from start to finish. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you are intrested in commercial use of the model, please contact me first. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The model is completely free to download for yourself.
