Description

IMPORTANT: This series of models has only been tested on a BambuLab X1C using the Cool Plate, and PLA filament. Expect different results on other machines and filament types. The Dragons are not included. (You can find them in my portfolio).

These stands are a complete rework of the ones I made for Patreon, which are still included with the old Articulated Dragon STL files.
The poles have been made slimmer with a flat resting area, as most dragons are print-in-place with flat underbellies.

There are three lengths; small, medium, and large. Note that the longer/taller the pole gets, the more fragile it becomes.
I printed mine in PLA but I recommend using a stronger filament if your dragon is long or heavy. I also did not need a brim on any of them during printing.

3 base types are available.

Plain is for you to lay out your stands however you want, but because they are individual they do not have additional base support, so may tip over if the dragon is long or heavy. I recommend the loose base for aiding dragons that can stand up, like my Articulated Aku Dragon.
Curved is made for your dragon to “fly” with. You can slot whichever stand height you want into the base slots, so they can fly low, or fly high, it's really up to you!
Swirled is for your dragon to fly up or down with; you can have them wrap around for a take-off or a landing!
Both Swirled and Curved have been designed to look like rocky terrain.

The poles slot into the holes in each base. I have tried putting as many holes as I can into the Swirled and Curved bases without ruining the base design.
As there are hundreds of different dragon models out there, in different shapes and sizes, I can not guarantee the poles will fit every single one. They do fit my dragons, but I am sure with some experimenting with the different pole heights you'll find something that works for anyone else's dragons too.
