Behind the Scenes: How We 3D Print Our Dragons
Ever wondered how our articulated dragons come to life? 🐉
At 3P3D Printing Co., each dragon starts as a 3D model designed with precision and creativity — and ends as a fully flexible, hand-finished piece of art.
🧠 Step 1: Design & Testing
We start by digitally sculpting the dragon, testing how its segments move and ensuring it’s safe for play.
Our goal: smooth motion, no weak joints, and no sharp edges.
⚙️ Step 2: Printing
We use high-quality PLA filament from trusted UK suppliers like Sunlu.
Each dragon can take several hours to print layer by layer — resulting in incredible detail and flexibility.
🖐️ Step 3: Finishing Touches
Once printed, each dragon is carefully checked for strength, movement, and finish. We remove any rough edges and give it a light polish for that perfect sheen.
Every one of our articulated dragons is UKCA/CE certified, eco-friendly, and made entirely in Lincolnshire.
🔥 Step 4: Ready to Ship
After passing quality checks, your dragon is packaged securely — ready to fly to its new home.
We love seeing your photos and videos of these dragons in action, so don’t forget to tag us on social media!
❤️ Hand-Printed. Locally Made.
Every dragon we print is more than a product — it’s a piece of creativity made by a small UK business.
