Y Ddraig Goch,
printed in layers.

The Welsh flag built as a stack of four thin sheets, each one printed in a single colour with the shape of the next cut through it — so the picture has real depth you can run a finger over. It sits in a moulded frame with a Celtic plait round all four sides, on its own weighted stand. 252 × 164 mm finished.

No supports on any part
No AMS, no filament changes
No glue, no screws

Y faner — the flag

Two dragons fought under a mountain, and the red one won

The oldest story told about her is a strange one. King Vortigern tried to raise a fortress in the mountains of Gwynedd, and every night the walls fell down. A boy told him why: two dragons lay sleeping in a pool beneath the foundations, one red and one white, and their struggle shook the ground. The pool was dug out, the dragons broke free, and the red drove off the white — which the boy read as a sign that the Britons would in the end outlast the Saxons.

She was carried by the ancient Britons, flown by Cadwaladr of Gwynedd, and marched to Bosworth Field in 1485 under Henry Tudor, born in Pembroke — the white-over-green field behind her is Tudor livery. The flag itself, astonishingly, was only made official in 1959, by which time the dragon had already been a Welsh emblem for a thousand years.

And there is no single official drawing of her: every maker draws their own, which is why the dragon on one Welsh flag rarely quite matches the next. This one is ours.

Designed and test-printed in Swansea.


Any printer, any nozzle

Four sheets.
Four colours.
Zero filament changes.

Each colour is its own flat sheet, so you print each one when that filament happens to be loaded — no multi-material printer, no swaps mid-print, no purge waste. Stack them into the base board in order, press the frame on, done. Nothing needs supports, nothing needs a brim, nothing needs glue.

Because each sheet reveals the one below it, the finished picture has genuine physical depth — the black line-work stands proud of the red, and the red sits behind the field. It catches the light the way a printed flag never could.
