As seen in the preceding screenshot, this is what the dragon looks like when it returns from the printer. I customized it a little by coloring the eyes and giving them Anime style double highlights, but leaving the horns green, and I wanted to make the wings look as they are semi-transparent by showing the blood veins.

In this chapter, you discovered how to use the Solidify modifier to create a solid shell for the object and you learned proper building techniques to make a model strong, light, and precise. You learned how to make sure two objects will fit together correctly. You discovered how to deal with overhanging polygons, and how to output the file in STL and X3D formats. Congratulations and have fun doing 3D printing.
