Hello everyone, I recently used my portable 3D scanner[

The nylon can be challenging to print with coz it tends to absorb moisture from the air, which can affect print quality. But the nylon for 3D printing can be a good choice due to its toughness, flexibility, and durability. For a softer texture for your dragon, you might consider the following suggested material filaments.
If you want a really soft and flexible material, TPU is an excellent option. It's often used for printing items that need to be elastic and durable.
It is available in a variety of colors. Most commonly used material and a great choice for easy to print with, biodegradable, and delivers quality print.
Hope this information helps you!
Happy printing *:)
