Add some epic ro your garden with this weather vane in the shape of a medieval dragon holding a flower. The flower is also a functional windmill. This weather vane is meant to be installed on a wooden pole.  The model in the picture was printed using Prusament Black PLA, Spectrum Wizard Indigo PLA, and Devil Design Red PLA. Printing A few considerations when printing this model: To have a more balanced vane, one should print the rear part of the dragon at 100% infill, and the front at 10% Add extra perimeters and layers for the parts that have bearing in their name. If printed in PLA (and maybe PETG), paint the parts with a UV cut lacquer. Assembly  To build this model, you will need: Printed once: dragon, flower_windmill, bearing_cap, bearing_base Printed 2 times: small_washer, bearing_clamp A wood screw ~4mm in diameter A nail fastener with a 1.5mm diameter and ~26mm long.  3 M3 flathead screws ≥ 12mm long, and M3 nuts A 608 bearing, if possible of the RS type (rubber ring). optionally a M2.5 washer.   To assemble, first mount the bearing_base, bearing, bearing_cap and secure them with the wood screw on the pole. Put the two bearing_clamps around the bearing, slide the dragon in the middle, and secure it all with the M3 screws. Add a drop of instant glue on the nuts to lock them in place (optional). On the nail, add a plastic washer, the windmill, (a M2.5 metallic washer), and a plastic washer. Insert the nail in the hole on the stick. You are done :)
