Inspired by a Real Pet Favorite
The gargoyle gecko is a popular pet lizard from New Caledonia, named for the small bumps on its head that look like the horns of a stone gargoyle. This model keeps those cute bumps, the round eyes and the wide toe pads, then adds moving joints so the gecko can crawl, curl and climb in your hand.
It is a lovely way for gecko owners to have a “twin” of their real pet on the desk, printed in matching colors.
Pose It Anywhere
Real geckos love to climb, and this one can pretend too. Curl the tail around a pencil cup, spread the legs as if it is walking across your desk, or let it rest on the edge of a shelf. Print a few in different colors and you have a whole little gecko family to display together.

Printing Tips
Articulated models need a well-tuned printer so every joint moves freely. These general tips will help you print the Gargoyle Gecko smoothly; adjust them to your own machine:
- Use the orientations included in the files so each joint prints correctly
- Calibrate your first layer well so small joints do not fuse together
- Gently move each leg and tail segment after printing to free them
- Silk filaments give the best color effect on the textured scales
