Description

IMPORTANT! This model has been tested in full colour only on a Bambu Lab X1C but has been tested on both an X1C and A1 for flat colours.

  • You will need to use a brim if you use a Textured PEI plate in an enclosed printer otherwise parts will fail to stick.
  • Using a Cool Plate with gluestick; you do not need a brim using that plate. I recommend this option over a Textured PEI plate.
  • Superglue is recommended if you use the beard, as it can slip out of the slot if you need to sand the insertion bit.
  • The long limbs are a loose option I have provided for those who want them. I would recommend just using the shorter ones.
  • The hands/forearms of the MINI Aku do not move even if they look like they should. This size guides those who want to shrink the original two options. MINI is the smallest the model can print before detail gets lost on the face and the shoulder joints start losing strength.
  • No supports are required for this model, even if your sliver says it needs them. The ONLY component that needs support is the beard. (found in Optional Long Limbs file).

Behold! The Master of Darkness! And no pesky Samurai!
The Shogun of Sorrow is articulated with 12 limb joints and up to 30 body links on his longest size.
He doesn't stand up on his own, due to his long body, but he is my most flexible dragon so far! (I am making updated stands for my dragons, so the likes of Aku can stand up. Follow me to learn when this file is available.)


This model, being so large, can be a filament eater. The short version is my recommendation.
I have tried to modify the purge settings so that he doesn't eat additional filament in colour changes, but if the red you use has a strong dye in it, you may get bleeding when the white parts print.


He looks great with or without the beard. It's provided in the optional parts if you choose to use it. Aside from adding supports for the beard, and using a brim if printing on a textured pei plate, no additional set-up is required for this model.
