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). As the 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.
