This is the Ancient Dragon Book/Tablet Display! This model is the result of a lot of refinement, and the lessons I’ve learned from my other two dragon book display variations (Flamewing and Book Wyrm). Just like others, this one also prints support-free.
The dragon’s wings extend all the way down to the build plate, which adds stability and helps minimize print errors. The book prints as a separate piece, making it much faster and easier to print it in a different color.
In total, there are eight different versions included, giving you a wide range of display options.
Included Versions
Complete dragon with slots for 6mm glass eyes (I used these- https://a.co/d/enxPFpa)
Complete dragon with pre-colored, printable eyes (no inserts required)
Book opening sizes:
15mm – small books or tablets
35mm – medium-sized books
62mm – large books
Each opening size is available with both eye options.
