Crystal Dragon 2025

I’ve learned so much since creating my first designs, and over time, I’ve refined features like connecting links and other key aspects. The original Crystal Dragon still uses the original links, which don’t print as smoothly or cleanly as the updated designs. To celebrate three incredible years of Cinderwing3D, I’m thrilled to release a 2025 updated version PACK of the original Crystal Dragon! This updated version incorporates some of the latest dragon design enhancements while staying true to the charm and spirit of the original.

Yes, you heard that right—PACK! Along with the 2025 updated version of the Crystal Dragon, we’re excited to include a few extra surprises, made possible by our incredible team of testers. Thanks to their efforts, this pack includes (6) .3MF multi-color files and (2) MEGA Crystal Dragon files scaled to an impressive 200% and 300%! A heartfelt thank you to everyone whose incredible efforts helped bring these fun bonuses to life!

NOTES and Assembly of the Mega Dragons:

200% is on 4 plates and around 800g of filament, should come out to around 5ft/1.5m 300% is on 11 plates and around 2,700g of filament, should out around 6.7ft/2m Each plate has a cut loop with pegs and a matching loop remainder with holes. Once printed, you need to connect the pieces together by putting a dab of super glue in the hole part and connecting it around the other link. (It is suggested that you test the loop connection of each piece before gluing it together.) For the 300% the link right behind the back legs is the hardest to connect because of the angle. We used plyers to hold the loop piece while connecting it. Depending on your printer the 300%’s pegs may need supports. Highly recommend checking your cooling is at 100%, and recommending crosshatch, gyroid, or 3d honeycomb for infill. 2-3 walls at 5% infill due to the size and scope. This is a SPECIAL one time thing in celebration of the Crystal Dragon's anniversary and will not be a normal thing for future models. That being said we hope this inspires you all to make some mega dragons! All cuts were made using Bambu Studio/Orca Slicer's cut tools. https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-studio/cut-tool

Resin Settings No supports, flat on plate 50 um layer thickness Light off delay can be helpful to let resin drip from links.

Proper bottom exposure tuning is recommended. Models, particularly in clear resins, can suffer from overexposure and fused links. The Ameralabs Town testing is highly recommended to tune your settings as to get proper articulated prints! Exposure varies greatly between resins, printers, and environments.
