Articulated ice dragon

Hello everyone, I’m P1lotz, a professional 3D artist from Scandinavia, and I have been working in this field since 2019. I’m excited to introduce my first ever articulated dragon: The Articulated Ice Dragon. I really hope you guys like it. It has taken me on such a journey. 

1. Body articulates ✓
2. Legs move up and down✓
3. Tail moves freely around ✓
4. Head articulates ✓
5. Prints in one piece ✓
6. No support needs ✓
    

Print settings 

• The dragon does not need much infill. I recommend between 10% and 20%, but 5% works as well.
• The dragon does not need any support for printing.
• The dragon can usually be printed directly on the printing bed. If any troubles occur, I do recommend printing with rafts. 
• I advise avoiding using adhesion while printing the model and instead using rafts to avoid problems with articulation.
