These Dragon Display Bookends are a rework of my original dragon plaque display! This time built to actually support your books.

Instead of holding a plaque, the dragons now rest naturally against the side of your books. The hand has been repositioned to support the book itself. I also added a tab that slides under your books to keep everything stable.

I included three versions:

-Large version with 6mm eye sockets (for glass eyes) -Large version with printed eyes -Small version with printed eyes

Print Settings

-Layer Height: 0.20mm -Walls: 2 -Infill: 5% Gyroid -Supports: Tree supports

Filament & Finish

I printed mine using PLA Sparkle (Onyx Black): https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/pla-sparkle?id=41002885415048

Then finished one with silver and the other with gold Rub ‘n Buff to bring out the details.

Filament Usage & Time (Both Bookends Printed Together)

Large – 6mm Eye Version (Single Color) 308g filament 15 hours

Both bookends fit on one Bambu Lab A1 build plate

Large – Printed Eyes (Two Color AMS Print) 330g filament 16 hours 20 minutes

Small – Printed Eyes (Both on One Plate) 113g filament 7.5 hours

Everything listed above reflects printing both bookends together, not individually.

This was a fun evolution from the plaque version into something more functional. It keeps that same dragon presence but actually earns its spot on your shelf.

Hope you enjoy it!

Happy Printing,
