Description
This time, I'm introducing a dragon figurine from the "Designers" series. It's a real diva when it comes to 3D printing, so beginners beware!
Support removal is its own kind of boss fight, so if you lack patience or proper tools, this one's not for you.
This is not your typical click-and-print model. You’ll need to put in some work to get it looking like the photos.
And a word of caution: be extra careful when removing supports from between the teeth. You can print a few spares just in case. You’ll thank me later 😄
All my photos are REAL and show an actual 3D-printed figure photographed by me.

The key to printing my figurines is having good adhesion to the build plate. I use CryoGrip Pro Frostbite for printing, which provides excellent grip, ensuring that every figurine prints successfully every time. I mainly use filaments from Bambu and have no issues with them either. If you have a different setup, make sure to focus on build plate adhesion, use high-quality dry filament, and everything should be fine.
