Haku: Modified lung oriental dragon with hollow body for wire/elastic stringing

thingiverse

Lung Oriental Dragon in the style of the dragon form of Haku from Ghibli's Spirited Away. Spinal fur must be glued on separately. More pics here: https://www.instagram.com/saisaillias/ Ears added (Gunnar86), nose changed (Tioh), bushy eyebrows removed, whisker holes will fit PLA filament to customize shape and length. Tail modified (7Fish's sea serpent) to a a flame shape for a more east Asian dragon look. All body segments made hollow with segment 1 and 45 with horizontal bars for hooking elastic or wire on the inside for better posing. (Note: I haven't printed out the hollowed out body pieces, so I don't know how well they print/assemble, but they would be what I would use if I were to print again. I found that the pieces printed as is from 7fish's original model made for a rather floppy dragon.) I had terrible difficulty printing out the original claw joints, and never got them to come out well, so i ended up cheating and made bead joints to allow a wire to be passed through and be glued to the claw hub and nail tip sides. Nail tips are tilted back slightly to allow for a paused print and filament change to have a different nail color from the rest of the limbs/body My edited head and tail meshes are pretty messy, but they printed fine on the dremel slicer. Assembly: I used a hot water bath to heat up the female ends to pop the pieces together with out much difficulty. Faux fur hot glued on to each segment 8mm glass eyes in the pictures.
