Hi Cinders!!!

This month's dragon is the ARMORED SPIKE DRAGON! This is a really FUN print and EXTREMELY POSABLE!

This species of dragon is a QUAD-WING dragon, with 2 big sets of fan out wings! I have designed these wings to be pop-ins, meaning you can print them on a separate bed for bigger dragons and also help minimize fail prints due to wing adhesion. If you would like to fit it all on one printbed 80% seems to be a great size! There are also notches on the body segment for the wings to sit in 2 different positions!

This model is a NO SUPPORTS model and has been tested between 100%-60% sizes.  For better bed adhesion we recommend a brim especially around the wings. While it's a spikey design, it's actually not hard to hold and my kids have so much fun playing with them!

There are 2 different variations!

Winged (with separate wing file)

Wingless

Filament: Filament shout-out to FILAMENTIUM for the stunning Crystal Clear teal filament! It's my favorite color and I love how the light shines through! Also used HZST3D's Gun Metal Grey which is a great armor color!

Thank you all for your support!! :)

iWeezie

This is one of my favorite!!!

Damon

Of course I just put another Butterfly down, this will have to wait but it is super awesome.

Chris lala

Thats why i bought a second printer. :)

1 Layer at a time

what was the layer change to the 2 different colors

D.A.R.K_3D

That's why I bought an 8th printer lol.

Damon

All four are busy. I started them all about :30 before this post. Happens all the time.

Chris Tuttle

The dragon print turned out nice. Just finishing up the wings now. This is a fun winged model.

If you need print support please pop into Discord or email us at support@cinderwing3d.com with more info! Though, if its Cura, please use a different slicer or try rotating the model. Elegoo Cura and Creality Slicer have many bugs that make it have trouble slicing models and base Cura is finicky at best. Those are all sliver issues, no model issues so we can do nothing to fix that.

angie lee

body breaks when trying to click in wings :-/ waste of almost 40 hrs lol will try wingless model next, i think that will be better :)

Shannon Traska

Had to join the club, the dragon and wings printed perfectly, but the ball sockets each snapped a piece in PLA. Just adding glue seemed to fix it, though, so great work!

Leslie Peterson

I cant figure out how to put the front wings on it feels like it printed two wings that go on the same side.

2026-09-05 15:00 Did I miss an update? My wings don't look like that and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to orientate them when attaching

I was able to attach my wings. If you have them collapsed, the part that touches the print plate faces forward. I did snap one of the wings in half but was able to reattach with gloop. I can't seem to post a picture for reference.

Dan Clay

Fantastic model! I've printed 4 and they all look beautiful, I wish I could post pics, the wings and tips with red/blue looks great. Love the engineering on the wings to hold position and how they rest. I've found tilting the wings downward and rolling the balls into the sockets helps them go together smoothly and have not had any break.

Cedric (SideQuest3D)

Will you ever release a .3mf in the future for some of these prints? Id love to be able to do multicolors.

Jazzy_Plz

We have previously released 3mfs for some models. Due to the amount of time they take we pick and choose as we have time and manpower to do so!

Jazzy_Plz

One set is bigger than the other. The smaller set it the back wing, the bigger set also has a spike near the ball joint.

Jazzy_Plz

The ball sockets do not require force to go in but since we cant account for all tolerances it might be worth going down a percent or half a percent to get a easier time for poppin them in

Cedric (SideQuest3D)

this one would of been a great one. and yeah they do take some time. I been doing. Lol. thanks for the reply

Vogel 3D Crafts

Did the MMF email go out already? I didn't get it and missed downloading the file.

Jazzy_Plz

They have not yet

Magpulx720

I printed this with Overture PLA Plus black (body), and Amolen Silk Gold (wings). I literally had a bidding war going the moment we posted this.

Mark

the wings will not open and just broke trying to get them open... @70%

Magpulx720

how many walls are you using?

Magpulx720

are you printing with some type of bed adhesion?

Magpulx720

Do you have a model of a rock formation or mountain he can rest on?

Mark

raft bed adhesion fixed it. the first few layers fused together witouth

Cindy

I have been unsuccessful trying to paint this in the Bambu slicer. How did you paint the wings two different colors.

Kaden gray

They just did a filament change

Jazzy_Plz

this is correct, it was just a well timed filament change

SneakySmurf

I really love the look of these, but they never seem to stay in place. The fronts are OK for now, but the backs aren't tight at all. If you print on a Bambu or a perfectly dialed in printer, the ball joints are too loose and the wings don't stay up. Maybe a sticky filament will be better but ughh. I seem to have this problem with all the pop-in winged dragons. :(

Jazzy_Plz

In this case I'd recommend going up 1% or heck, even half a % in scale. That usually does the trick. We try to get it as good as we can for most but every filament and every printer is gonna be a little different!

Ashleigh Stamps

hey, can you help me understand how to get this file? I dont see the link like it is in other posts
