See 3mf files with Prusa Slicer for print setting details and used modifiers! If you have a Prusa i3 MK2 printer, you might be able to use them even without modification.

- Start positioning the dragon above the base by estimating the length of the outer 3 threads, use pieces of tape to hold the yarn in place at this step!
- Thread the middle yarn of his tail to the hole in the rock and
