Description
Hello everyone, I’m P1lotz, a professional 3D artist from Scandinavia. I have been working in this field since 2019. This time, I decided to create a creature that actually exists—kind of. Since it's the season for it, I made Rudolph the reindeer :D
The legs move up and down ✓
The body moves freely around ✓
7 articulating parts ✓
The model can be printed in one piece ✓
No support needed ✓
Christmas themed print in place ✓✓✓✓✓✓✓!!!!
There are two versions of colored print profiles for the Bambulab lads, as shown below. The one on the left is called ReindeerColor1, and the one on the right is ReindeerColor2 (the file names). Both versions use only four colours, making them suitable for printing on a standard Bambu Lab A1 or P1S.
If you're interested in obtaining a commercial license for my dragon design or any of my other creations, consider joining my Printables Club. As a member, you'll have the opportunity to sell physical prints of all my models (unless stated otherwise), as long as your membership remains active. Join today for just $8 per month to secure your license and support my upcoming projects. Sign up for my Printables membership today.
The reindeer model requires minimal infill; I recommend using between 10% and 20%, although 5% can also work. This is a print-in-place model, meaning it does not require any supports or assembly. The model can typically be printed directly on the print bed. However, if you encounter any issues, I suggest using rafts for printing. It is best to avoid using brim, as it can cause issues with articulation.
How to make the model stand, if you have trouble doing so:
I am in the middle of exams at the moment, but I will try to make a more stable version soon.
The model was created using Blender 3D. To learn how to design your own detailed articulated dragon, watch my updated tutorial.
