NOTE: The images are of the BAMBU STUDIO model. As I do not own any Prusa printer, or know how to use Prusa Slicer properly, I cannot guarantee your prints will look the same as mine if you use the converted Prusa .3mf files.

This Shenron model comes in two sizes; short, and long. The short dragon has 12 joints down its body, the long has a whopping 31 joints!

The whiskers are just strips of filament that I have glued into the holes on the side of the muzzle, a filament size of 1.75mm fits in the holes nicely.

I printed mine without a brim; providing your hotbed is clean/freshly glued, you shouldn't need a brim either. Supports are not needed for this model; do not use them or the model can break when you remove it from the supports!

Be aware that the long version of the model gets VERY close to the plate edges, so you won't be able to make this model any larger. I wouldn't print it any smaller as the joints will likely lose strength.

Pre-painted/coloured versions are also available!

The joints can move in almost all directions, though the hips have the least movement. The arms and legs do not move.

You can see the range of movement in this video:
