This 3D model recreates one of the most fascinating optical illusions: the "Dragon that follows you with its gaze." Redesigned for 3D printing, the dragon is crafted with a thin, foldable structure, just like the original paper version. Once assembled, its design uses the concave head effect to create the illusion that the dragon is watching you and following your movements wherever you go.Perfect for impressing friends and family, this dragon is the ideal combination of creativity, design, and optical illusion. Lightweight and easy to assemble, the model retains all the charm of the original while adding the versatility of 3D printing. Assembly: Heat the head section with a flame to create a concave shape: Glue all the foldable flaps on the back with glue (Loctite). Using the flame, heat the neck area to make it bend slightly backward. Finish!
