ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
The realm of video games is filled with iconic armor sets, and for fans of the challenging and atmospheric Dark Souls series, the Elite Knight Armor of Astora stands as a timeless legend. Originating from the land of Astora, a kingdom steeped in tales of noble heroes and fallen grace, this armor embodies the classic aesthetic of medieval fantasy within the dark and compelling world of Lordran. While appearing throughout the trilogy, the Elite Knight Armor holds a special place as the quintessential armor of the first Dark Souls, often donned by aspiring adventurers and representing a perfect blend of resilience and agility. Its enduring design has even been embraced by memorable characters like Anri of Astora in Dark Souls 3, further solidifying its status as a truly iconic piece within the Dark Souls universe.
Behold the might of Astora, now ready for your 3D printer! Our contributor has masterfully sculpted this Dark Souls 3D model, a complete figure clad in the revered Elite Knight Armor. Notice the intricate details, from the weathered textures and subtle marks of past battles to the ornate engravings—this 3D model hero exudes the spirit of a true warrior. With the option to display it on a high or low platform, this 3D printing design will be the centerpiece of any collection. Let the Age of Fire be reborn on your workbench: download your Astora Knight STL files and manifest this legendary Dark Souls character with the magic of your 3D printer!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
Elite Knight of Astora 3D printing design is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 73 hours in total. The 3D print's anatomy and proportions were thoroughly reviewed during the moderation process for the character.
The cutting of the 3D printing design 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 3D printable model are connected, Elite Knight was divided into convenient assembly parts.
All assembly parts in the 1.0 FFF/FDM 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 1.0 FFF/FDM and 1,0 DLP/SLA versions in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the "Assembly Video" and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to Elite Knight of Astora.
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 3D printer design's chosen scales are 1:8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:16 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.
