Not a dragon but a worm! Allow me to introduce Wormy, a print-in-place, articulated earthworm toy. Fun for cats, children, and people of all ages.

All of the included files will fit on Prusa Mini+ and Bambu A1 Mini beds. They should scale bigger just fine, but I wouldn't recommend scaling any smaller than 90 percent.

There are a few different versions:

• Long: The main version. This is probably the one you want to print. 
• Long with Loop for Cat Wand: This has a loop on the head that lets you tie it to a cat wand. Kittens love this worm!
• Long with no Central Band: Earthworms have a raised band on their body. This version removes it. 
• Long with no Central Band with Loop for Cat Wand: Self-explanatory.
• Short: This version is shorter with an equal amount of segments on each side. 
• Short with Loop for Cat Wand: (See above.)
• Short with no Central Band: (See above.)
• Short with no Central Band with Loop for Cat Wand: (See above.)

Printing instructions:

1. Print in place without supports.
2. 0.2mm layer height or smaller. 
3. Unless you have EXCELLENT adhesion, you should use a 6mm outer brim set at 0.45mm away from the print. Any closer will be hard to remove. Without a brim, the segments risk coming off the bed. 

The first joint at each end is fake and and not supposed to move. The other joints should move freely. If they're stuck, try tinkering with your horizontal expansion or XY compensation settings.

See also my telescoping cat wand, which works great with this.
