ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
At the end of Bagshot Row in Hobbiton, a village in the centre of the Shire, there is a cosy smial with a perfectly round green door, a shiny brass knob in the exact middle and round windows that lead to countless rooms. Just above the Hobbit-hole, there is an old huge tree overlooking “the most luxurious hobbit-hole in the local area”. And if you happen to pay a visit on the owner’s birthday, you may be welcomed by the sign “no admittance, except on party business”. While many of Tolkien’s fans have already travelled all the way to New Zealand to visit a 12-acre movie set “Hobbiton”, the author of this 3D printer model gives any willing enthusiast a chance to create a very own replica of Bilbo Baggins’ home! The 3D artist spent 240 hours to design the Baggins’ Bag End that comes with a trick! You can either print the whole Bag End model including its roof with the tree mounted on top of it or you can choose the other variant without the roof to plant a real bonsai tree inside of the hobbit-hole! This 3D printer model comes with everything you need - there is an extra 3D STL files for printing the pot with holes to wire the bonsai to it. Once the bonsai is planted you can put it into the bowl that also can be 3D printed and filled with expanded clay to aggregate for drainage and aeration. Your bonsai project is ready to be fixed into the hobbit-hole! Both bowl and pot can be taken out any time you need to replant the tree or when you want to rotate the pot given that the bonsai grows in the direction of the light. We are sure any Lord of the Rings fans would be stunned to have such a unique flowerpot at home! By the way, have you noticed Bilbo Baggins sitting on the bench?
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
Hobbiton Bonsai Pot 3D printing design is an assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 42 hours in total. The model’s cutting was chosen to ensure the cleanest 3D printed result, e.g. window-frames, benches, doorknob, lamp and even Bilbo Baggins’ 3D models are available as separate assembly parts. Besides, the model’s windows are provided as separate files for you to be able to print them in transparent filament and add LEDs inside to light the Hobbit-hole up in the evenings. When choosing the tree for your 3D printed pot it is recommended that you take the following general rules into account: the pot’s depth should be equal to the diameter of the trunk just above soil level. For oval pots, the length of the pot should be 2/3 the height of the tree. The author of this 3D printer STL files wants to emphasise that it is important to buy bonsai first and then figure out what scale to print the Bag End at.
The author of the Bonsai Pot model prepared a set of video instructions on how to assemble and paint the model and even on how to plant the tree inside.
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.
