Hii!! FIrst post of May! Yaay!!

Im happy to release Sakura! the little dragon covered in Cherry blossom petals!

✨ Sakura ✨

  • 3 walls, 15% gyroid or 3D honeycomb infill. No supports.

  • Tested down to 50%. I don't recommend going below 70% for both versions.

  • When scaling you may need to adjust the scale of the wings, if your wings are loose at 70%, scale them up 2%. I had to scale the 150% wings down 2% to help them fit easier.

  • Please use Brims with a brim gap of 0.3 if you are using Textured PEI plate, especially so if its a mulitcolor plate. A little bit of post printing clean up is better than losing the plate due to adhesion issues.

Editing 3MF

  • Avoid using the slicer's fill tool when coloring the eyes and eye shines in the 3MF files, because they are split to parts. Instead, assign color to them from the object list to make the edges look cleaner. 



  • The eye shines can be deleted by holding alt and clicking on them in prepare tab, then right clicking and choosing delete from the drop down.

Inserting wings

Youtube short with inserting the wings - Youtube shorts

  • When inserting hold the wing closest to the ball end to help stabilize it during insertion, gently nudge ball joint back and forth while pushing it into place

  • you should be able to dangle the dragon from the wings without them falling out

  • If wings are loose increase wing scale by 2%, if they are difficult to insert scale down by 2%

I have Included the castle in this release. 100% sakura fits into 100% castle.

⭐As with all of my designs, I strongly advise that the printed models are not to be handled by children under 3 without proper supervision⭐

Mini Inspired

Anne

You make the cutest thing ever 😍

Anne

to the printer

Auryn

Adorable! Are you planning on an adult version too? My kid loves the adult/baby dragon duos.

Amber Grey

These are so cute!! I love the leaf wings! Thats brilliant. So sorry to ask but I think you missed 2 dragons in the filaments used list. I wouldnt ask but they are so pretty! I am wondering what you used for the body for the dragon with mint green parts and wings and the other one has light blue with what I think is Ziro sunlit petal for the body but it looks like theres a different filament for the orange horns?

Lidia Heinzel

Absolutely stunning!😍🌸 Ever since the last dragon, I’ve been imagining how amazing it would be if the castle had a dice tower version too—one where the dragon could be fully integrated. Maybe with slightly lower walls to make it work. That would be the ultimate combo!

Ashley Sinclaire

These just finished printing and I’m stuck at work 😫😫 I can’t wait to get home and see them!

Sarah Joiwind

Yay! I love them! Thank you so much!!

Ruth Hein

When I open them up the eye shines aren't there in the 3MFs, am I doing something wrong?

Christine

Hii!! Thank you!! for the mint greens body I used polymaker army beige, and for the orange and blue one I used ziro falling leaves 🥰🥰

Christine

Hii!! there are 3 3mf versions, the 3 color one doesn’t have the eye shines. Try opening the one that’s called “Sakura 3mf”

Paul Day

I don't think the 100% castle fits 100% dragon like described. Castle needs to be bigger

Elvijs Vanags

Great model. But lost a few dragons when printing the first time. Due to the new ball joint in the head, it lost adhesion and moved. Printing with brim around the head next time.

Christine

I do recommend brims if you have a textured pei plate. Make sure you’ve cleaned the bed properly with soap and water and that you are never touching the printing area with your fingers 🥰

Char Marie

What is the orange ombré filament??

#ShesCraftDee H

I can't find sakura, I swear Im losing it lol

Christine

Hii!! follow the link at the bottom of this post, it’ll take you to the download post, then expend the post and scroll all the way to the bottom and click on the sakura link 🥰

How did I miss this?! The perfect Missus to go with the Little Dragon release! She's just darling. <3

Katy Ramos

So. I'm a teacher and I do desk pets every year. I just got a 3D printer and loved your shrimp and tank because it was like a desk pet and a house all together. Then came the dragon and castle. I made one. The castle tower?? PERFECT for a pencil holder. So desk pet and a house AND fills a need? Sold. My classroom is dinosaur themed so if you ever felt so inclined to do a mini volcano house thing (volcano could be a pencil holder what) I would DIE.

Andy Savage

Hi we are having difficulty with the first few layers, we seem t have to send it a few times then it works? Any advice on how Sakura should be started to avoid this. We are new to printing but absolutely love your prints. Thanks in advance

Christine

Hii!! It would depend on what kind of build plate you have and the type of printer. You can DM me with more information! Even better would be to send me a picture of your first failed layers on instagram, facebook, or discord if you’ve joined it 🥰

Suki

what is the pale green on the hot pink one?

Devin Walp

I tried scrolling the comment to see if this was answered but maybe I missed it, what is the black ombre filament in the photo with the orange and black dragon??
