Description
When I saw the design of @VipSaran , I added it to my slicing software.
One thing I found was the end of the dragon head was protruding.
I redesigned this so the head fits inside the top, then added a circle around it.
I also used epoxy to glue the nut into this design to really make it solid.

Inspiration
When browsing Thingieverse, I came across VipSaran's design. I really liked it, but when slicing it in my slicing software, I saw the head was protruding.
I then inserted this*.stl into Fusion 360.
Logo
I took the measurements from VipSaran's design. Mesh to B-rep and added sketch designs for the hex nut.
I also added an offset to the main base and extruded.
Final Design
I decided to rather make the whole design round and uniform. I then extruded the offset circle edge downwards.
This then made the final design better to print.
