The Ancient Dragon Book Nook is an enlarged version of the original Ancient Dragon Book Display, redesigned to fit perfectly into the same book nook box used in the Dragon Emerging Book Nook series. This keeps things consistent across the lineup and makes it easier for those who already print the other dragon nooks.

The dragon itself has also been slightly updated. You now have the option to install 8mm glass eyes (https://a.co/d/0dKdhzLH) instead of the original 6mm, or use the fully printed eye version if you prefer a completely printed model.

To make multicolor printing easier, the book prints separately, allowing you to change colors quickly without slowing down the dragon print.

Filament & Finishing

For my version of the model:

The dragon was printed using Alpine Green Sparkle PLA from Bambu Lab.

After printing, I used Gold Leaf Rub 'n Buff to give the dragon a weathered, ancient metallic look that really brings out the scales and details.

For the book, I used:

Sparkle Red PLA – Bambu Lab

Basic White PLA – Bambu Lab
