Pet monster Valentine
Description
Base included, if you'd like to use it.
I don't own a 3d printer so I'm not sure if everything is as it should be.

Instructions
-> If you want one single print (dragon + base) use the "aio" (all in one) file.
-> Choose the other files if you want the dragon and the base seperated.
Update 1: Added pm_valentine_parts.zip
Added a version where the heart is seperately printable. I've no idea if this fits together (no 3d printer and therefore no experience with this) after you've printed it though. I'd imagine you'd have to print the heart first, then the dragon and then put it together while it's still bendable.
If this fails miserably you'll find a great derivative by cyclone which seems to work pretty good :)

The contest requires the design file be included in your entry and I don't see one for this thing. I haven't checked all your pet monster things, but I know at least some include a ZTL file which is a Paintbrush file, I think.
I wouldn't want this to be disqualified on a technical point, especially since so many people, including me, like it.
Please, double check all your things to make sure they meet all the requirements for the contest.

So what coaxing would it take for a version of this little guy just curled up on his own with all his feet on the ground? Better, maybe one where he is curled around 'something' not in the model. Then we can print it at an appropriate scale and set the 'something' in the center later on. Significant other wakes up to cute printed dragon curled around cute plush Cthulhu; men around the world sing your praises.
Added a vesion where the heart is seperately printable. I've no idea if this fits together (no 3d printer and therefore no experience with this) after you've printed it though. I'd imagine you'd have to print the heart first, then the dragon and then put it together while it's still bendable.

The individual files you have are useful for someone printing the parts individually. (Like me) but for someone using two extruders, they would need the parts to line up with respect to each other. So when you load the files, they line up with where they go. See my files for an example. And I'd say the base gets printed separately, so just the dragon and the heart down on Z=0 with the heart in the right place. (As it always should be :) ) I'd love to see more two color prints on Thingiverse.
I'm rarely swayed by cuteness, but wow. Awesome job! The one thing that would make it even cooler is if you could also upload the heart and dragon separately so that they could be colored differently using dualstrusion, as per your rendering.
This model is beautiful. He's so photogenic! You've dealt with all the details and overhangs really well - he prints flawlessly. Great work! I printed him at 2x his original size - totally worth the wait.
I think this is the cutest of your designs yet.
How about this same monster, but just the monster without the heart and without the base?
The Pet Monster contest is really adding great stuff to Thingiverse!
Thank you for sharing your creations.
I say, keep doing what you are doing! These are great. I haven't printed this one yet, and I think for all the details to come out perfect I might increase the size to 150%. But it looks very printable. This will be next on the list once I finish painting the grappy :)

Printed at .15 layer height, translucent blue PLA, MakerGear Mosaic. Gorgeous minus some slicing defects :) Look how smooth the heart is!
This one looks really smooth, nice print :)
