Description
Hi everyone. My name is P1lotz and I am a professional 3D artist. I have been working in the field since 2019 and specialize in creating articulated creatures, particularly dragons. This time is no exception. My latest creation is an articulated dragon with smooth-moving joints, making the dragon satisfying to play with. Not only are the joints articulated, but its legs, head, and tail move freely around as well.
This particular model has been printed using morph-coloured filament from FormFutura. FormFutura is a reliable provider of high-quality filaments that come in a variety of colours, making printing both effortless and perfect. The result of the different colours coming together is stunning. I love it!
FormFutura’s Morph Coloured Filament

Legs move up and down✓
Tail moves freely around ✓
Head articulates ✓

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.
