ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy based on Tolkien's legendarium gifted the fans a plethora of unforgettable characters, villains and heroes alike. Despite knowing every scene by heart, we still hold our breath rooting for the Fellowship of the Ring as they break through numerous obstacles for the One Ring and omnipotent Sauron to meet the ultimate demise. Legolas was one of the key members who helped forge the peaceful future of Middle-earth, so why not recall the brave hero together with your 3D printing hobby!
Through the Legolas 3D printer model, our contributing 3D artist was dreaming of bringing to life his favourite movie scene - in the epic sequence, the acrobatic Sindar Elf portrayed by Orlando Bloom rides down the stairs on an Uruk shield, killing vicious enemies on the go with his swift arrows. The author paid tribute to the immensely detailed design of Legolas' clothing and equipment - beautiful textures, leather embossments, intricate weapon engravings, and other small details will astound you. The 3D printed Mirkwood's prince will gladly fight with you side by side!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
Legolas 3D print is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 34 hours. The model's anatomy and proportions were thoroughly reviewed during the moderation process for the elf to be depicted harmoniously in the intended dynamic pose as seen in the famous movie scene.
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, it was cut along the contour of Legolas' attire. For you to achieve the cleanest 3D printed result, the character’s head, hair strands, hands, vambraces, bow, quiver and arrows, daggers, etc. are provided as separate assembly parts.
All assembly parts of the FFF/FDM versions come in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and so that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate.
The 3D model 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 approximate height of Legolas which is 1830 mm. The 3D printing design's chosen scale is 1:8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:16 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.
