Flexi Factory Imperial Dragon

Amazing dragon! How long is it printed in 100%?

Michal Jedrzejczak

I test to 50% on all my models for functionality and printability. The scales will be fragile depending on settings and material used. I have seen them much smaller at 35%...but they do get very fragile.

Dan

What is the smallest scale this can be printed ?

TTYT3D Fast Changing Rainbow

Dan

What filament is that?

ClearMindDesigns

I am sorry to hear you are frustrated, but I do make all the information readily available on the sign-up page before you join. There are about 30 models when you join your first month for $10...and I add as the month goes on. Plus other benefits like voting rights and private Discord. I hope you can also find value in the help with printing and communication I provide.

Dan

No disrespect intended ,my first and last month its not fair to charge he 10.00 per month and then ask Patreon members to go to another site just to purchase the print that lured us to the site in the first place. Love the work tho!!

Michael Davis

The files rotate each month because I have an extensive library and make at least three new models each month. Everything but the exclusives are available with the 40% off code.

Dan

why is it that the good files are all archived? please make this available.

Magpulx720

Is this pic color edited? Struggling to find one that looks like this!

Hi there. You may have missed it in the welcome email and sign-up page...but for all the files you have access to (bonus files, last three public models, exclusive for this month), there is one post that has them all: patreon.com/posts/75334297 I add to this post as I release other models for the month. If you would like any of my older models, I offer 40% off through my mini factory. That info can be found here: patreon.com/posts/my-mini-factory-75334485

Dan

how do i get this STL, im new here and some things have STL's and some don't, am i missing something?

Ron McIntosh

I have same problem haha :D this looks awesome :D

Killa Beez

Depends on the machine and my settings are fine-tuned for my various machines. If you ever want detailed info you can message me or email me at flexifactory@gmail.com

TTYT3D fast color changing pla

Dan

What filament is that :O

indieHindley

How can I get this if I just joined?

Jennifer Jones

can you share your slicing details?

Adam Khan

Mine was great, I'm making my third one right now.

Sheena Hernandez

Just kicked mine off at 70% size, .2 layer, and using some pretty amolen red copper silk. It's going to be a long 12 hours.

Allen Smith

OMG mine came out amazing!!

Anji Brown-Vaughan

IT WORKS!!!! Haha 😂 I was messing around and didn’t realize that it has to click into itself just have to click the neck bottom into themselves at the bottom so little hard with the .8 layers but works cheers 🍻 amazing deigned user error 😝

chris chaffin

Well I had an ender3 get freed up so I threw this on there with rainbow 🌈 filament printer was set up with a .8 nozzle 6walls for strength and I didn’t want to change it so it came out pretty good but his head won’t stand up watch out for the weight of the head going to reprint on a .4 2wall setup but for this it’s my fault 🤦‍♂️ not thinking of weight 🤔😕

chris chaffin

Wow! Can't wait to print this :)

Lizzyanthus

Awesome advice!! shaved 20hrs off

nice!!!!

chris chaffin

use a .6 nozzle .4 layer height itll cut time dramatically did the crystal dragon that way on the Chiron its 3.5 ft long took 32 hrs

Dustie Chase

hmm, print came out great at 100% but I can't get it to lock at all. either the holes are to large to catch it or the pegs are too small for some reason.

Andrew Curnutte

Kobra max on it way can’t wait this will be my first big print on it!!!! Probably take days but it’ll be worth it😜

chris chaffin

I’m blown away. I just pulled two off of the printer. Wow amazing.

PatientPlayer

Any way we could possibly get a resin version , where it's configured for a rectangular bed? Everything printed fine but the tail sort of fused

Christopher Kirby

What an incredible design works flawlessly. Super creative! We have printed many of them already and each one came out great thank you!!

MinorDetail3DPrints

Any of us that are posting get asked about this. Will this be Patreon exclusive or just early release to us? (looks like it got you a boost in patrons)

Phil Rolfe

It's not just me then? I just printed one at 50% and I can not get it to stay up, it flops backwards or forwards. I must be doing something wrong.

Heather Dryer

Just finished mine awesome work and love the locking spines

Alfeu Fontana

I love this dragon but I can't figure out how to keep his head up it may help to put out a tik tok on how to set it up

Justin Brennan

Just finished my first one and it's brilliant. Second one is on the printer now 🤣

Sara Pearson

you should be able to lock 1 spike behind the front legs and 1 spike in front of the back legs and push them together

Dan

it's designed to sit up. the spikes on his back lock together

Dan

That's tough because printers can all be very different. I usually go with a .12 on my enders and just wait it out. .15 on my prusa. .2 on my fokoos. I like to go with 3 walls. infill no lower then 15% 20% to be safe

Dan

Dan

.12 if you are patient. Yeah, 40% is small. I'm sure the fusing was on the bottom...right? it happens if you are getting elephants foot. glad to hear it worked though.\

Dan

AMAZING. Wow, you are a pro. The locking mechanism is so cool. I can't figure out how to get the middle hump to work, but this is just a incredible model. Thank you!

SneakySmurf

Have mine finished had some issues with the spikes in one area not forming correctly but will print another when I get some more filament.

John Austin

How do you get it to stand up like the photos? Have mine printed and it is AMAZING!!!

Ronette Robinson

Got it :) Im late to the game but other than you, I hadnt seen any post of it on TikTok... YET!!!

Cosmic Connection

Hello!! Can you share your print settings for this dragon? It looks like it is extremely smooth and I am wondering what layer height, how many walls, and what infil % you used.

Kristin Thompson

What gold filament did you use?

Amanda

Trying this on my Ender 3. What resolution is suggested? .4 nozzle - .2? or .16? Tried at 40% with silk PLA at .2 and a couple places fused, but in general it came out ok. I'm thinking if I don't scale it down so small it may have better results, but before I do that long of a print, I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions. Maybe I'll try regular non-silk pla 1st.

Allen Smith

that dragon looks nice just printed the crystal dragona and it came out great. just have to be more patient and slow down the printing process. Due to all the small movements that don`t take long ive been getting a little sag and shifting. But soon it will be ready to mass print hahaha. Thanks for being so amazing.

I would love to know what rainbow filament you are using!

Christina Knoll

It printed well at 20%, that's awesome. I love when they scale down nicely.

Heather Dryer

Dan
