The Year Beast

thingiverse

Sad that the Year Beast can't stay all year long? Worry not! Now (s)he can keep you company on your desk, glaring at the mounting pile of work you have to do. It never hurts to have an immortal dragonthingie around. Sorry for only having the mostly final product in blender. I tried subdividing the mesh a bunch of times to get around the simplification that happens when I export as an STL (Does anyone know how to get around that?), and so having all of the iterations in a single file ended up taking about 2GB of ram. I assumed you guys didn't want to deal with that. I believe that this is the correct model, and there are no problems with it. If you have any difficulties with slicing or printing him, let me know. Feel free to nag me if I don't update my files fast enough. I know how annoying it is when people don't upload what they said they would... Many thanks to DeltaMaker, Simplify3D, and Netfabb for sponsoring Deis3D, the Brandeis 3D Printing Club, where I learned how to design and print these awesome models (located in the [MakerLab](Brandeis University's MakerLab. I specifically used their materials/software for this print. Print Settings Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: .1mm Infill: 20 Notes: Sliced with Simplify3D Printed with Deltamaker Neon Orange Filament Printed on a MakerBot Replicator 2 with the following settings: 90mm/s print speed 150mm/s travel speed 230°C print temperature Other settings are in the factory file (you can open it if you have Simplify3D) How I Designed This I did not design this model, it was taken from Valve's Dota 2.. I take no credit for it's design. If you're interested in learning how to get these models, you can get the stock models from the Dota 2 Workshop. To turn those models into something printable, follow this guide. Sadly, it is currently not possible to get files out of Dota 2, since the switch to Source 2 engine brought with it a new file format that locks all the models inside. As such, I won't be making any more Dota Models anytime soon. All of my game models are assembled in Blender, repaired with Netfabb (They sponsor the club) and sliced with Simplify3D (they also sponsor the club) and printed in Brandeis University's MakerLab as a member of Deis3D.(The 3D printing club at Brandeis University)
