3D model description

An articulated model of a Dragon Headed Caterpillar.

The head has 4 main horns with two thorns on each. The body has engravings where the markings would be along the side and the main segments have a bumpy textured top - just like the wriggly critters themselves. Oh! Don't forget the 6 pairs of feet...

There is the head, 9 body segments, and the tail.

Prints in one piece. No clipping or clean-up needed.
Straight and Curled versions


Since it's my first ever articulated model, I wanted to keep it simple but fun.

Trivia
Did you know that the Dragon Headed Caterpillar was the main inspiration for the character Aaravos (creature form) from Netflix's The Dragon Prince series?

3D printing settings

No supports!

No rafts needed!

You can enlarge the model, but I do not recommend shrinking the size due to the joints.

Layer Height: 0.2mm

Infill: 25% (up to you, but I would have at least 25% for the stability of the joints)
