Fang's Body

Fang is a fully 3D printable animatronic dragon.

These are the files for Fang's body.

The aligner parts and the peg connector are optional. You could use toothpicks instead of the peg aligners. I welded all the body parts (with a plastic welder) together so I had no need for the peg connectors. Once your done the body, you can cover it in scales, which can be found on Fang's skull thingiverse page: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4312923

Important Notes:

Anything that has (L.B) in its name means that it is Load Bearing. I recommend printing those with a high infill (40-100%). Everything else can be printed with an infill of 10-20%.

The parts that need to be printed twice have (x2 Needed) in their name.

For the neck and tail you will have to drill out some of the pre-made holes in order to feed the cable through.

For the access panel you will need to print a hinge and bolt it to the body and the panel in order to have the panel open and close.

Don't worry if the pegs on the right & left side body break off. They are there as a guide to help you align the parts. A few of mine broke off but I was still able to assemble the body properly without re-printing or repairing the part.

The Body Parts.zip contains all the body parts along with the assembly pictures.

Note:

This version of the body is a MK 1 so eventually it may be upgraded (After I finish my other projects). This body is designed to be a general shape, once you cover it with scales it should look a lot better. But feel free to make it better if you can ;)
