Nazgul & Hobbits 3D Printing Figurines in Diorama | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a classic of the fantasy genre and, probably, is the most-known film in the world. The adventures of Frodo Baggins and other Fellowship of the Ring members pursued by the nine Black Riders during the mission to destroy the One Ring are full of tense plot twists and vivid scenes. The episode which shows Nazgul chasing hobbits keeps the audience in suspense and makes everyone empathize with the heroes every minute.

The author of the Nazgul & Hobbits diorama was particularly inspired by the scene of the chase in the Old Forest where hobbits were hiding from the black rider in the tree roots and embodied the moment in the form of a 3D printing diorama. The Nazgul silhouette is designed with great precision and looks very authentic in the chosen posture where the servant of Sauron is depicted holding the reins of his horse and peering into the forest thickets. The figurines of the hobbits deserve special attention as they look very realistic and their facial expressions perfectly convey the emotions from happening. These STLs are the dream of every LOTR fan and you can already get them for yourself, don’t delay!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Nazgul & Hobbits for 3D printing is a static assembly diorama and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 75 hours in total. The figurines' anatomy and proportions were thoroughly reviewed during the moderation process for the characters to be depicted harmoniously in the intended pose.

The figurines’ 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 figurines are connected, Nazgul and hobbits were 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 file of the diorama 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 Nazgul & Hobbits.

The 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 figurines’ scale was calculated from the height of Nazgul. The 3D printing figurine’s chosen scales are 1:8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:16 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.
