Mine turned out fantastic! Can I ask what command strips you used? The slots in the back of the print are too deep so the strips I have can't touch the wall.
Thanks for replying. I figured out that you're referring to the Command Picture Hanging strips with the velcro. Those work perfectly but the regular command strips do not. Just a reference for anyone else wondering :)
Oh, you’re absolutely right! I just added the dimensions to the description. But hey, don’t worry, it’ll fit in all the most popular 3D printers in 2025, like the Prusa MK3/4, Anycubic Cobra S1, BambuLab A1, X1C, P1P, P1S, and Elegoo Centauri Carbon.
Made this in about 9 hours between 2 printers. I also made several Modifications to the original model. I broke it down into multiple parts, that way i could print it in color easier. I also made it so i could add in custom eyes. I think it turned out awesome. Thank you for the model!
Wow, this looks incredible! The eyes add so much life to the dragon, it really makes the whole piece feel alive. Amazing work, and thanks a lot for sharing this with the community!
This turned out great, I don't have ams so I printed mono color and painted the detail. Only suggestion is, it needs the screw holes like your other designs. Other than that it's such a sick build!
Totally love the design and it fits perfectly. Love the creature series and im building them one by one.
A side note if you want to pursue idea, my controller needs are almost complete with all these design. It would be awesome if you could tweak them a bit so they would serve as headphone mount. I do have a couple of headphone for gaming station and i think the design you do would be amazing. But all in all, loved the work.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for building up the Creature Series one by one, that really makes me happy to read! The idea of adapting them into headphone mounts is a super cool suggestion. You’re right, the way the creatures are posed at an angle makes it a bit tricky to integrate headphones smoothly, but it’s definitely something we’d love to explore in the future. After the Creature Series, there will be other collections where headphone integration might make even more sense.
The slot for the 3M tape is very deep, it doesn't stick to the wall here. You could make a version with a shallower slot for the tape. You could also make a slot for screws, 3M is not always reliable.
Hey! Thanks a lot for your feedback — it really helps me improve the designs for everyone.
Just to double-check, are you using the official Command 3M tapes like I mention in the description? I’ve had several creatures up on my own walls for over 8 months now using only those, and I’ve personally never had one fall off, even in rooms with temperature changes.
That being said, I completely agree with you: not everyone wants to rely on adhesive, and 3M isn’t always ideal depending on the wall texture or surface. I’ve actually been thinking of adding alternative mounting options, like shallow slots or even screw holes, for future versions — and your message is a great push in that direction.
Thanks again for sharing this! If you’ve got any other suggestions or want to share photos of your setup, I’d love to see them 😊
Hello Holoprops,
I'm a member, but I'm unable to download the Dragon Controller Stand. I receive the message:
"Download is not yet available, please try again later."
This issue doesn’t occur with other models. Could you please check if the file is available for download?
Thanks for letting us know. We’ve reuploaded everything, and hopefully, it’s fixed now. We also optimized the STL files and reduced their size considerably. We appreciate your patience and help flagging this issue. Cheers!
I’m curious about the other controllers you’re trying to fit in. I’ve tried with six different ones so far, and I’m eager to know if there are any that might be too big for the space.
Is it possible to make a version where I can glue the horns so I can print them in different colors? I only have a Creality 6SE, so I can not do multi-color.
Hey! Thanks a lot for your message 🙏 You’re totally right — having the horns in a different color would look amazing!Right now, the model is designed as a single piece because it’s very organic in shape, and creating clean boolean cuts for the horns would have made things more complex and fragile. That’s why we opted for a one-piece design — to keep it simple, strong, and easy to print.
That said, if you’d like to print the horns in a different color, one workaround is to use a boolean modifier in your slicer. For example, you could drop a cube over both horns and use it to isolate and slice that part of the model. Then you can print them separately in another color and glue them in place. It’s not perfect, but for those comfortable with their slicer, it’s definitely doable!
Also, we designed the model with the future in mind — multi-color printing is becoming more accessible and will likely be standard in the coming years.
Thanks again for your support, and happy printing! 😊
Hi Holoprops,
Your perfectly right, i already run 3 printers with ams but the problem is that multi prints are more prone to errors, produce too much waist, and take way longer than single colour prints. So if its not too much trouble we would love if you separate the parts.
Ps. Love your work, one of the best work I've seen on thangs

The brand name is Command. It goes like “Command 3M stripes size S”
Thanks for replying. I figured out that you're referring to the Command Picture Hanging strips with the velcro. Those work perfectly but the regular command strips do not. Just a reference for anyone else wondering :)
Thanks you so much for the details, we will specify that in the future.
a1? sin soportes?
Hey there! Just a heads up, all Holoprops models are support-free.
It is too big to be printed on a traditionnal bed sizes. This should be stated in the description.

hello can we have an updated version where it has holes just like the bear model :)
Yes we are working on it!
Any updates on the holes ?

I have the same problem.

hello i printed this out but it only seems to fit my PlayStation not Xbox controller did i do something wrong please help

Baller design! Excited to get this one printed up and up on the shop. 👍
Thank you so much! Hope you have success with the model.
hey bro when u will add the holes for your controllers stand ive been waitinf so long
Pretty cool design! what kind of filament did you use for the white Model?
I think it was Elegoo White PLA Pro.
