Year of the Dragon Masquerade Masks

Please note that the raw STL files are not cut up like the 3MF file, and you will need to manually adjust them to fit your printer!
The 3MF was made using Bambu Studio and may not open in other slicers.

These masks were designed for you to paint and customise!

Print them in matte filament for best painting results, colouring this way will blend better with any other features you put on the mask. For example; you could stick paper leaves or string vine designs down the antlers, sculpt ivy around the face with air-dry clay, or dab on some fake moss to the antlers to give it that “old woodland” look. It's your mask, make it look how you want it to!

With the Year of the Dragon (wood element) around the corner, I decided to make masks to celebrate. Fae are spirits in my country, usually found in forests with large pointed ears, so I mashed them together with a Dragon to create these masks.

Rather than uploading each elemental dragon mask separately, I am bundling them into this one profile. You can choose a Wood Fae (antlers) and a Water Fae (horns).

---Wearing the mask---

Holes for threading straps are found on the sides, below the ears. If you don't want to use these large holes, simply delete the “negative part” in Bambu Studio.

A set of concealed holes can be found on the back of the ear base, where you'd find the default holes; these holes were added just in case you want to thread more straps for a better fit, or if you did not want visible holes on the mask exterior. They do, however, only take 1 to 1.5mm cords whilst the large holes can fit up to around 10mm thick cords. The thicker the cord/strap, the better.

The mask was sculpted over a standard styrofoam mannequin head model. This size fits all four of my family members, but the ears can make it a bit tight on those with a wide front temple. This mask fits children or smaller people best.
