NIGHT SPIRITYes, I know the name isn't very creative. I am particularly proud of this guy. I think it looks really cool. So, I am giving him his own posting, along with a single variant. If you find issues with the model, let me know. I will update it, in most cases, by the weekend. I won't post other dragon variants here. This one is for the Night Spirit only. All other variants will be on my main listing above. When looking for dragon heads, I was trying to find one that didn't have horns with severe overhangs. One complaint I got about the Spirit dragon was the difficulty printing horns without supports. The lower fins on the Night Dragon had pretty steep overhangs, along with the chin/neck. I rotated it, scaled it, flattened the base, the reshaped the fins so they angled up closer to 45 degrees. Several people posted pics of them printed very nicely. I think I printed them too fast, so the thin frill didn't come out well. I tried again with an updated model, where I thickened the spines. Printed better, but still too fast. Let me know what you guys think.‘og’ model is the head directly from the Night Dragon model. Be sure to print the horns slow! Or they will look like mine, in the included pics.‘thick’ model has the thickened, textured horns. I can't decide which I like better. Tell me what you think in comments. Seen in the pics printed at 70%. Also, too fast.PRINT SETTINGS2+ walls [I use 3]10%+ infill [I like 20% weight, but lightning or 0% should].10 layers or above [looks good even at .2]No supports of brims required [YMMV, I don't know your printer]Scaling 70% or greater. Any lower and the links will fuse. If scaling below 100%, seperate the model into Parts and the slicer will not merge the parts, though they may touch. They do touch slightly at 70%, but break away easily. 100% has no touching parts.ATTRIBUTIONThanks to sunset, sunset_3d_design and MZ4250 for making and uploading awesome models! Attribution of them and myself required if relinking this model elsewhere.COMMERCIAL RIGHTSI purchased commercial rights from sunset3d for the dragon model. So I now have commercial rights to my derivative models. Commercial access provided by joining my Printables Club. I will be adding an exclusive maker coin to show you are a club member when selling the dragons. The club membership will cover all models I create. I plan to make more than dragon variants, but these are what I enjoy making right now.FILESOg - The original head, the frills/horns are thin and a little hard to print. If you don't mind supports, it looks great.Smooth - Thick version of those horns, less likely to fail without supports.Bumpy - When first making the smooth horns, I thought they looked a little too smooth. So made them buldge as they “grew”. Think they look good big, but a but repetitive when shrunk. But variety is the spice of life. Let me know if you like them, would like me to try something different. Or especially if you find an issue. I actively monitor comments and will fix any issues found as soon as I can.
