It is a year if the Wood Dragon

More Chinese Zodiac Models in my collection: (including tealight covers and bookmarks(
https://cults3d.com/en/design-collections/c47/chinese-zodiac


46 files are in 3 compressed zips (122Mb total)
All models with names are shown on three renders
Dragon_set1 rest.zip
Dragon_set2 head.zip
Dragon_set3 head inverted.zip

There are files with simplified (SIM) and trafitional (TR) chinese

Compared to last year's Rabbit models the tealight is now with more uniformed wall thickness. Should look better
I will remake all of the older models when I will finish every zodiac

Flowers on models are considered 'lucky' for this year

Models with blessing are with flipped hanzi (upside down)
As I know it is usually used like that on lanterns or decoration strips (to let the blessing 'descend' down on the house or reader)


Tested with tealight on PLA prints. No deformations were noticed (nor in walls nor in bottom) but there can be some if you will use bigger and fatter candles - be advised
For more light use transparent filaments
Still I'm recommending a LED candles - as I used it

Made in Blender 3D
Printed with Viva la Bronze Prusament PLA on Voron 0.1 with 0.2mm layer hight

3D printing settings

No supports needed

Models "pattern-diffused" and "head-inverted" are much easier to print than 'patern' and 'head' and the prints may be more clean
See photos , I printed one of each

You can print a test files to see what will look better on your printer and slicer configuration
