Derpynite is a cute, chunky, delightfully derpy spin‑off inspired by the mega‑evolution concept of Dragonite. Originally designed by okihasa, this version has been re‑engineered and rebuilt for effortless 3D printing, especially for makers who want a fun character model without needing an AMS or multi‑material setup.
This remix focuses on:
- Clean, support‑friendly geometry
- Stable overhangs
- Simplified color‑swap or post‑paint options
- Small accessory pieces that add personality without complicating the print
Perfect for fans of creature collectibles, desk mascots, or anyone who loves a good derpy dragon.
Printing Recommendations
Material:
- Standard PLA works perfectly.
- Generic slicer profiles (0.16–0.20 mm layer height) are more than enough.
- No AMS required — the model is optimized for single‑color printing. For the wings that look like it needs ams recommend manual swap of white to orange to get the two color option. simply put a pause, switch and you are good to go. However, if you do have an ams system, this will be very easy.
Supports:
- Most users can print Derpynite support‑free depending on orientation.
- If your printer struggles with small overhangs, light tree supports under the chin or tail tip may help.
Infill:
- 10–15% is plenty for stability.
- Increase to 20% if you want a heavier, more solid figure.
Assembly Notes
Derpynite includes small “claw/nail” accessory pieces for added detail.
- Remove each small piece individually from the build plate to avoid snapping or losing them.
- Dry‑fit before gluing — the sockets are intentionally snug.
- A tiny dab of super glue or PLA‑safe adhesive is all you need.
- For the cleanest look, attach the claws after the main body is fully printed and cooled.
Optional finishing:
- Light sanding on the accessory pieces gives a smoother fit.
- Painting the claws or belly adds a nice pop of contrast if you’re feeling creative.
