Steampunk Articulated Dragon with Saddle
Created today
Description
A print-in-place articulated steampunk dragon with a saddle on its back, a hinged neck, a segmented tail and an opening jaw. It is a standalone figure, so the critical dimension is the hinge clearance.
What it has
- Five-segment neck on pin hinges, tilted up from the chest
- Seven-segment tail with alternating hinge directions, so it swings both up-down and side-to-side, ending in a blade tip
- Head with a pinned lower jaw that swings open
- Saddle with pommel, cantle and girth band
- Brass-style gears on both flanks, side steam pipes and a boiler with a stack
Check before printing
- Hinges use a 0.4 mm gap per side and 3.8 mm holes on 3 mm pins. Printer tolerance has to hold that, or the joints fuse.
- Print as-is with no rotation. Supports are needed under the jaw, neck and tail hinges. Break each joint free after printing.
Does not fit or do
- The legs are fixed and the figure has no wings.
- It is not a scale model of any commercial figure.

Goat Ballerina Christmas Ornament with Hanging Loop
A baby goat ballerina ornament that hangs from a ribbon loop and stands on a small stage disc. The old version tipped on its tiny shoe soles and looked flat. This one stands on a 44 mm base and has a fuller sculpt. Face: lidded eyes with lashes, a highlight in each pupil, rounded cheeks, a nose and a smile line. Horns: ridged spiral curls on each side. Ears: pointed, stretching out sideways, with raised inner ears. Dress: two layers of folds, a beaded hem roll, a sash and a back bow. Flowers: on the skirt, the sash and between the horns. Pose: hands joined under the chin, legs crossed, ankle-strap shoes. Print notes Height: about 100 mm, with the loop at the top. Base disc: 44 mm across and 2 mm thick, so the figure doesn't rely on the shoe soles. Loop: 3.5 mm thick, 7 mm opening for ribbon. Printing upright works for FDM; the horns and ears are the parts most likely to need supports. Resin printing suits the fine detail best.
Paper Fan Wing: Pinned Feather Assembly
A paper-prototype fan wing translated into printable parts: nine flat, separate feathers, each pinned to its own pivot hole along an angled upper support. The feathers get longer toward the outer end, and their rounded tips overlap to form the curved lower edge of the wing. Each feather has a faint centerline groove. Parts Upper support: one angled bar with nine pivot holes. Feathers (9): flat, 2 mm thick, with a pivot hole at the narrow end. Pins (9): a flat head under the support, then a collar that sets each feather's layer height. Caps (9): push-on retainers that hold the feathers on. Views Open fan, folded stack and exploded layout, all on one plate. Notes Pivots are 0.25 mm clear per side. Feathers are fanned by hand. No linkage is included yet.
Santa
A Funko-style snowman built as separate pieces: body, square head, top hat and two stick arms. The head has a 17.49 × 17.49 mm square pocket, 9.92 mm deep, in its flat underside. Fit notes Pocket: 17.49 × 17.49 × 9.92 mm in the head underside. Measure your mating part before printing. Head top: flat. The threaded post has been removed. Hat: still carries its threaded socket, so it does not screw onto this head as built. Not fitted: the body has no matching peg for the pocket.

Germania Relief — Wypukła Mapa Niemiec
Germania Relief to wypukła mapa Niemiec z rzeźbą terenu: cała powierzchnia jest lekko falista, także na nizinach, a góry wybijają się ponad nią. Wzniesienia mają gładkie, wielowarstwowe zbocza i nieregularne, powyginane obrysy zamiast regularnych owali. Cztery wyżłobione rzeki przecinają teren, a Ren jest wyróżniony zielonym wypełnieniem koryta, przyciętym do zarysu mapy, oraz tabliczką „Ren”. Znaczniki — trzy miasta, szczyt, Alpy, Ren i jeziora — są osobnymi elementami: leżą płasko obok mapy, bez dodatkowej podstawy, i pasują do gniazd w mapie. Całość czyta się jak dekoracyjna mapa reliefowa, a nie płaski plan. Najważniejsze cechy Ukształtowanie terenu w gładkich, wielowarstwowych zboczach, z Alpami wybijającymi się ponad resztę mapy i zieloną tabliczką „Alpy” Cztery rzeki, w tym Ren z zielonym wypełnieniem koryta przyciętym do zarysu mapy i podpisem; wypełnienie leży w korycie na mapie Trzy największe miasta — Berlin, Hamburg i Monachium — oznaczone wyjmowanymi słupkami z pionową tabliczką z wypukłym napisem Najwyższy szczyt Alp oznaczony wyjmowanym znacznikiem z kulką, kołkiem i tabliczką „Najwyzszy szczyt” Jeziora: Muritz, Bodensee i Steinhuder Meer — niebieskie wkładki w wycięciach, podpisane małymi tabliczkami Wyjmowane znaczniki leżą luzem obok mapy, bez podstawy; po przełożeniu wciska się je w gniazda mapy W zestawie Mapa Niemiec ok. 124 × 160 mm z gniazdami na znaczniki Wyjmowane znaczniki miast, szczytu, Alp, Renu i jezior, leżące płasko obok mapy Znaczniki nie mają osobnej podstawy Druk i montaż Model składa się z mapy i osobnych znaczników. Znaczniki są wciskane w gniazda mapy; pasowanie jest ciasne, więc luzy warto sprawdzić na wydruku. Najdrobniejsze elementy, jak kołek szczytu, są delikatne.
