My 125-part Dragon Chess Set just won 2nd Place

A quick update on my Dragon Chess Set:

It just won 2nd Place in Creality Cloud’s Dragon Design Contest. 🐉♟️

This ended up becoming a much bigger project than I originally planned. The complete set includes:

• 125 printable parts
• 40 cm playable folding board
• Built-in storage for the pieces
• Printed hinges and axles
• Reinforced internal ribs
• Original dragon-themed chess pieces
• Portable case design

Everything was designed around actually being printable, functional, and playable rather than just looking good in renders.

My 100th Model: A Sliding Monitor Headphone Stand

Hello everyone, Blaerov here!

Today I’m sharing a special project: my 100th model

I wanted a practical way to keep my headphones close without taking up desk space, so I designed this sliding headphone stand that mounts behind the monitor using the VESA mounting area.

The arm extends when you need your headphones and slides back behind the screen when not in use. It also has multiple extension positions and a wide curved cradle that supports the headband comfortably.

Key features:

- Keeps the desk clear

- Sliding and retractable design

- Multiple extension positions

- No supports required

- No glue required

- PETG recommended

- Designed for one headset

Make sure to check your monitor’s VESA clearance and screw length before installation.

This project represents a big milestone for me, and I would love to hear your feedback!

I turned a 40-slot desk organizer into a tracked storage vehicle

I designed this 40-slot organizer for pens, markers, pencils, paintbrushes, precision screwdrivers and other slim tools.

The main rack consists of seven pieces, prints flat without supports and assembles without glue. It works perfectly as a standalone organizer—but if you want to go all the way, you can print the optional tracked vehicle base, customize the paint job and use its internal compartment for additional storage.

I printed everything in PETG. The project files already include the correct orientation, print settings and required supports for the parts that need them.

You can find it as my latest upload on Creality Cloud:

I designed a dragon backflow incense burner for my workshop

I wanted something cool to give my workshop a little more character, so I designed and printed this dragon backflow incense burner. I painted the dragon separately, assembled the three printed parts, and this is how it turned out.

Before anyone suggests having the smoke come out of the dragon’s mouth: I considered it. However, incense actually burns and generates considerable heat, so I intentionally chose this configuration to make the heated area easier to isolate from the printed parts.

Important safety note: backflow incense cones can generate enough heat to damage or melt PLA. Before using the burner, the upper incense cavity must be lined with heat-resistant plaster or cement. The internal smoke duct must remain completely clear, and the liner must cure and dry fully before lighting the incense. The burning cone should never touch the printed plastic directly.

The complete print settings are included in the 3MF file, along with an assembly and safety manual.

The model is available for free on Creality Cloud. If you like how it turned out, you can download it and leave a like on the model page.

🐉 Dragon Chess Set - Premium Folding Board

After a lot of printing and testing, my folding dragon chess set is finally available on Cults.

The board measures 40 × 40 cm when opened and folds into its own storage case. It is divided into four reinforced quadrants connected with pressure-fit couplers, self-contained printed hinges and locking clips. The complete project includes 125 printable parts, 64 individual board tiles and 32 dragon chess pieces.

Every chess role has its own dragon design rather than reusing the same model at different scales. The pieces were designed to reduce unsupported overhangs, and most require minimal supports or none, depending on the printer and profile.

The project is also single-color friendly, so no AMS, CFS or multicolor system is required. I included the configured 3MF files and a complete illustrated assembly manual.

I designed a 40 cm folding dragon chess set with 125 printable parts

Hi everyone, Blaerov here.

I recently finished designing and printing this complete dragon-themed chess set.

The board measures 40 × 40 cm when opened and folds into its own storage case. It is divided into four reinforced quadrants so every section can be printed on a regular-sized printer.

The quadrants use angled edges, internal ribs and triangular reinforcements for rigidity. They connect through pressure-fit couplers, while the two completed halves are joined by self-contained printed hinges and locks. The removable corner feet are printed in TPU.

The complete project contains 125 printed parts, including 64 separate board tiles and 32 dragon chess pieces.

Each chess role has its own design and silhouette. The pawns, rooks, knights, bishops, queen and king were modeled as different dragon characters rather than using the same figure at different scales. Paired pieces also have opposite orientations for asymmetric details such as their tails.

I designed the figures to minimize unsupported overhangs. Features such as the wings, tails and beards also function as structural supports, so most pieces require minimal supports or none, depending on the printer and profile.

The project is also single-color-printer friendly. The black, white and gray components are printed separately, so an AMS, CFS or other multicolor system is not required.

I printed the rigid components in PETG and the removable feet in TPU, although PLA can also be used.

The complete files and illustrated assembly manual are available here:

https://www.crealitycloud.com/model-detail/dragon-chess-set-premium-folding-board-no-cfs?profileId=6a6ad51be7c56560f0aa7389

I would be interested to know what you think about the folding mechanism and the individual dragon designs.

I designed a skull-shaped tire valve cap because I kept losing the boring stock ones

Hello everyone, Blaerov here.

I’m sharing my skull-shaped tire air cap.

I designed it because these little valve caps always end up getting lost, and if I was going to print replacements anyway, they might as well have more character than the generic plastic ones.

This version is printed in black PETG, prints fast, requires no supports, and includes the internal thread so it can screw directly onto the tire valve stem.

I recommend printing one test piece first before making the full set, since tolerances can vary slightly from printer to printer. In some cases, you may need a small scale adjustment, around 1% or 2%, depending on your machine.

On my Creality K2, it fit perfectly at 100%.

Hope you like it.
Cheers.

Functional print: Multi-purpose storage container.

Hi everyone,

I designed this Multi-Purpose Storage Container to help keep small parts organized around the workshop and on my desk.

It's a simple functional print that works well for screws, electronic components, hobby supplies, spare parts, and other small items that tend to get scattered everywhere.

Features:

  • Compact design
  • Easy to print
  • No supports required (if applicable)
  • Useful for workshops, makerspaces, and home offices

I'd love to hear your feedback and see any makes if you decide to print one.

I made a 77-model 3D printing bundle — weird, useful, decorative, and print-ready stuff

Hey everyone,

I just put together a full bundle with 77 of my 3D printable models on Cults3D.

It’s basically my “all models” pack: a mix of functional prints, display pieces, organizers, keychains, props, weird objects, decorative models, and some fun experimental stuff I’ve designed over time.

Instead of buying the models one by one, the bundle has a 70% discount, so it’s a much better deal if you like variety and want a bunch of files to print, test, gift, paint, or modify.

The bundle includes things like:

  • Functional accessories
  • Desk and home objects
  • Planters and organizers
  • Props and display pieces
  • Keychains and small giftable prints
  • Weird/funny/dark little models
  • Print-friendly STL files

Here’s the bundle:
https://cults3d.com/en/users/Blaerov/bundles/all-my-models

Feedback is welcome. I’m always improving my models and trying to make prints that are actually worth the filament.

I made a foldable utility hanger because apparently the world still has too many places where you need to hang something and there is absolutely nowhere to do it.

Hey everyone, this is Blaerov.

I made a foldable utility hanger because apparently the world still has too many places where you need to hang something and there is absolutely nowhere to do it.

This thing folds down, opens when needed, and can be used on different setups: market stalls, shop displays, camping gear stations, workshops, travel setups, storage panels, or temporary workspaces.

It is not furniture. It is not decoration. It is just a practical printed tool that gives you instant hanging space wherever the setup allows it.

Caps, bags, jackets, towels, hangers, small accessories, light gear… whatever makes sense, as long as you respect the fact that this is still printed plastic and not industrial steel.

The idea was simple:
make something portable, useful, easy to store, and flexible enough to move between home, shop, booth, camp, or workshop.

Fold it. Hang it. Use it.
Better than leaving everything on the damn floor.

I made a simple 3D-printable modular block system that snaps together

I made a simple modular block system for 3D printing.

The idea was to keep it easy to print, use as few supports as possible, and make it expandable enough that you can print as many pieces as you want and build larger structures over time.

The blocks were originally designed at 40 mm, but the included 3MF is scaled to 30 mm. After testing, I honestly prefer the 30 mm version because it feels comfortable to handle, prints faster, and makes it easier to produce a lot of pieces.

The cylindrical inserts snap into the blocks, and the blocks have internal guide rails to help keep the inserts from sliding out. I also made a video showing that they fit firmly, hold together well, and do not separate easily.

It is a simple toy-style project, but I’m pretty happy with how solid and satisfying the connection feels.

Print them in different colors, make a pile of them, and build whatever you want.

Fully 3D Printed 8-Bit Mushroom: No screws, no glue, just PETG and geometry.

I’ve been working on a series of functional retro designs, and I just finished this one.

Most people use CAD software for these kinds of projects, but I did the entire process in Maya. The biggest challenge was getting the mechanical tolerances just right for a fully 3D-printed system. Both the hinge and the front latch click into place perfectly without needing a single screw, metal pin, or glue.

The box is heavy-duty and wall-mountable. I printed this one in PETG using a CFS for the flush pixel art on the front.

I’ve uploaded the .3mf file with all my print settings pre-configured if you want to check it out:

Print it. Use it. Just make it worth it.

Hello everyone! 👋

Really happy with how this physical build turned out. I put together a quick video with a fun track for it, so make sure your sound is on! 🔊

Snapping all these little PETG pixels into the grid is incredibly satisfying. I went with a retro "100% Download" theme for this one, and the colors look great in person. The whole board feels super solid sitting on my desk with the stands.

Just wanted to show off the final result and how the assembly looks. Hope you like it! 👾

*Video created for comedy purposes*
Really excited to share my new 3D printed Art Deco picture frame! 🖼️✨ I wanted to make something super versatile for standard 4x6" (10x15cm) photos.

It comes with a modular center piece: leave it out to hang the frame on your wall, or snap it in to use it on your desk. Both portrait and landscape work perfectly.

The best part? The front pattern is an SVG, so you can easily change the geometric shapes and swap colors right in your slicer to match your room. No supports needed and it's fully multi-color ready.

Designed by me (Blaerov). You can grab the files and try it out here:https://www.crealitycloud.com/model-detail/art-deco-picture-frame-multi-color-cfs-ready-no-supports?source=22&profileId=69f7df99bd080ef0d3514ad7V
