A Wandering Dragon (Patreon)

Big Post

"The Wandering Dragon, a large beast with no real fixed environment, you can find them anywhere, the Frozen North or the Sandy Dunes to the South, they go wherever they please. Accused of being a territorial invader, sometimes encroaching on another Alphas grounds leading to frequent environmental destruction or upsetting the food chain.
Hunting parties will occasionally go after them specifically to either drive them out or kill them with the aim of returning balance to the area.
Misunderstood, despite their intimidating appearance, Wandering Dragons don't migrate for food, they do so for leisure, moving around the world whenever they feel the need."

The Wondering Dragon is larger model release then most, there are a few sizing options I've aimed to put out but they all take time to test print, so please bare with me. I'm also trying out Lychee again and offering the .LYS supported files for those that want my supports as a base.

The regular models come Solid, Solid with Supports, Hollowed and Hollowed with Supports. I'm also putting out 2 size variants, one for smaller machines (Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K used for test and sizing) and a slightly larger one, 'Standard' (Elegoo Mars 3 used for test/sizing).

We're also offering cut/parted versions as well to print and assemble larger versions of the Dragon.
The smaller parted model is aimed at your regular size MSLA printers (2-3 plates on a Sonic Mini 4K) whilst the larger model is aimed for you mid size MSLA machines (4 plates on an Elegoo Saturn).
I'm releasing some bits now which can be found in the monthly dropbox for Patrons, here is a list of what is done/in-progress/Testing.

Wandering Dragon Small Size - Supports In-Progress

Wandering Dragon Standard Size - Done successful prints on Elegoo Mars 3

Wandering Dragon Split Model Small - Supports In-Progress

Wandering Dragon Split Model Large - Test Printing Currently (SATURN 2/4 beds done)

All the solid files for every size are available now if you want to support yourself, the rest of the hollowed/supported and Lychee files will follow when I've had time to support/test them.

For larger models going forward we're not aiming on doing this many variants/sizes but instead want to streamline it so we get the best average as this takes a tremendous amount of time for 1 person, so feedback on the best sizing would be great.
Feedback on the Lychee files and their usefulness is also appreciated.

Thanks again,

Lance
