This is Flexi Japanese Dragon. This model is based on Japanese dragons, especially those of Katsushika Hokusai: 葛飾北斎 (1760-1849).

Comparing the head with Western dragons, the jaw shape is similar to that of a fish, so the mouth looks downward, and the face is similar to that of a human, as there is a tradition that it looks like ogre: 鬼. In addition, compared to the original Chinese dragon, the Japanese dragon has three fingers, spiky hair (or thorns instead of hair), fewer branched horns (or no branches), and other minor differences. I kept these differences in mind during the design process.

Print in Place with no supports and no assembly required. In addition to the standard Flexi Dragon-like size model, a medium size model, reorganized in a lizard style, is included. The medium size requires 30% less filament and time to 3D print than the large size; if 3D printing time is a concern, the medium size is a good choice. If you have belt printer, it is recommended to use a straight type model.

Please take pictures of your Flexi and share them with us!
