3D model description

Batwing dragon is a unique dragon species that I created in my own novel - Legend of Elberkhan (https://www.amazon.com/Legend-Elberkhan-Yuxiao-Chen-ebook/dp/B0CRR187BP).

Their wings resemble those of bats, and have a crested skull like a pteranodon. But their whole body is covered in Black satin-like skin with no fur and no scales. Their front limbs have completely evolved into membraned wings, with one strengthened thumb that they can use when walking on land, and four elongated fingers that serve as the frames for the wings. They have short but strong legs that give them the thrust when taking off and the cushion when landing. Their size range from approximately the size of an adult human when they're babies, up to 50 m long from head to tail when fully grown, so they can easily carry a human on their back when flying.

I can’t say how excited I am to finally be able to bring this little baby to this world with more than just words and pen!!!

3D printing settings

The original model size fits an adult's palm, but you can scale it up to have a bigger dragon.

I printed with the head pointing down and tail pointing up, with supports "touching buildplate" up to 52 degrees of overhang angle - see "Support.jpg" for reference. The tail can be a bit fragile when printing in this direction but the wings and body have the best results.
