Flying Night Dragon

Instruction how to train your dragon.

After printing, you have to make some bends.

The most important is bending of the tail a little up.

You can also bend it a little into V shape

Next important thing is bending of wings a little bit up.

Beyond that you can play with middle small wings and bend it up or down or just leave them as they are.

Dragon head is with 100% infill, if you print with PLA it should be good balanced.

If you accidentally printed dragon with lower infill than 100%, add play-doh or plasticine to the head and it will be flying too.

Sometimes the model is demand a little refresh shape after hard landing. Good throw technique is also important. Throws it like paper airplane. 

Prepare that not every flight will be good. But if you train the dragon a little then smooth flight is very satisfactory :)

Printing

Print in place with PLA, with 100% infill (for proper head ballast) and 0.2 mm layer height. You have to have good bed leveling, because  wings and tail have only one layer height. 

Files

The model has two versions 

One without horns to quickly print and fly.

Second one with horns for a better look :) Horns fix with superglue.

Besides, there is a desk stand, wall sticker and ceiling hanger. To stick it to the surface, use double side tape.

Flights 

Below some outdoors exemplary tweaks nad flights.

Flights were performed with windy condition so dragon was a little nervous :)

GIFS below consist version 1 that needed add balast.

In print profile are version 2 that don't need add a balast.
