Articulated Lotus Dragon

This model comes in two versions.  One with eyes and one with eye cutouts.  You can use the printable eyes to make them a different color or use flatback beads or other items.  

This print requires no support or brim.  The model can be printed scaled down a bit. I suggest looking at your slicer to determine when the parts start fusing or become too small.
 

I suggest printing the eyes very slow (~30mm/s) or else they tend to get knocked off the plate or not form correctly.  I also suggest slowing down the print if you scale the model down quite a bit.

 

I have used flatback red pearl beads for the eyes in the small dragon.  The blue snake eyes on the pink/purple model are actually fishing lure sticker eyes.  You can buy these in sheets and they come in various sizes.  Even though these are sticky, I still use E600 glue to secure them. You can also find small glass eyes for doll making which look interesting on printed models.
