My family is playing through Lost Mines of Phandelver, slowly.  Very slowly.  We're at the one year mark.

Why?  Because instead of slaying goblins, we raised a goblin warband (it's a crazy story, and Droop rolled insanely high to convince them) and are marching on Thundertree with an entire company of goblins.  So we needed a proper enemy when we got there.

I scoured all the dragon models on Thingiverse but none of them felt quite right.  However, boris3dstudio's realistic take on Charizard had a whole lot of potential.  A few hours of surgery, touch-ups, and reposing in zbrush got me this, and I split it up for easier printing.

I haven't adjusted the scale and it's freaking massive.  You'll probably want to print at 50% scale or less.  I'm trying prints on my Rostock Max and my Elegoo Mars.

Print Settings

Printer Brand:                          

Rostock

Printer:                          

Rostock MAX V2

Rafts:                          

Doesn't Matter

Supports:                          

Yes

Resolution:                          

0.1 - 0.2mm

Infill:                          

Body only

Notes:

I crunched the model down pretty coarse, but the tesselation looks kind of like reptile skin so it works nicely.  I doubt you'll need more than .15mm on an FDM printer, or 0.03mm on a DLP printer (Elegoo, Photon, Formlabs, etc).  I'm printing with a 0.4mm nozzle on my RMax at 0.14mm layer height.
