ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Albus Dumbledore is the one who believed in Harry Potter and always supported “the boy who lived” starting from his birth. The Headmaster of Hogwarts was considered “the most powerful wizard of all time” for his wisdom and exceptional abilities. Dumbledore is the only wizard Lord Voldemort had feared and whom the dark lord hated so fiercely. Friend and mentor of Harry Potter, Albus Dumbledore guided the boy, helping him to find his inner strength, and taught the young wizard how important love and friendship are and that sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice yourself for the greater good.

Inspired by one of the most loved characters of the world-famous fantasy our contributing 3D artist created this masterful design for 3D printing. The appearance of the professor and his facial features are so natural and vivid and can not but impress. The wrinkles on the face of the wizard, the typical look from under the half-moon spectacles, the way of holding the wand, the long beard tied with a chain with miniature bells, the robe decorated with embroidery, massive finger rings - all these details were taken into consideration and implemented by our 3D artist and we are sure that when printing and painting the model you will get great pleasure. What makes this 3D printing design even more unique is the ability to implement the model in the scene either with The Pensieve of Hogwarts or with the Owl Lectern. We are absolutely sure that Albus Dumbledore 3D printer model will take a special place in your collection!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Albus Dumbledore for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 72 hours in total. The model's anatomy and proportions were thoroughly reviewed during the moderation process for the professor to be depicted harmoniously in the intended pose.

The model's cutting was chosen by our team to minimise the amount of generated support and some of the parts were hollowed out for you to save resin in the Eco version. In order to conceal the places where the assembly parts of the model are connected, Dumbledore was divided into convenient assembly parts.

All assembly parts in the FFF/FDM 1.0 version are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate. When downloading any model's file you will also receive "Assembly Manual" for FFF/FDM 1.0 and DLP/SLA 1.0 versions in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly Video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to Albus Dumbledore.

The design is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.

The model's scale was calculated from the height of Dumbledore. The 3D printing design's chosen scales are 1:8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:16 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.
