ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
Battle of the Hornburg, where the army of Saruman the White confronted the Rohirrim Army supported by Huorns, is a legendary episode in The Lord of the Rings. The long battle, where the hordes of Orcs attacked the fortress attempting to break the gate and eliminate their enemies, ended with the destruction of the force of Saruman.
Helm’s Deep 3D model for printing is an exclusive design from Gambody contributor that stands out for its beautiful design, top quality, and precise details. The Hornburg fortress with its Deeping Wall situated between northern and southern cliffs is a stunning view: the building has excellent zoning with numerous stairs, arches, towers, and gates, every texture of its surface is meticulously designed and every proportion is observed. The scale and sculpting of the mountains are commendable and, additionally, Helm’s Deep 3D printing design features the beautiful Glittering Caves, another highlight of this spectacular landscape. Your LOTR collection will be incomplete without Helm’s Deep, start printing the legendary fortified gorge today!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
Helm’s Deep for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 65 hours in total. The 3D model’s zoning and proportions were thoroughly reviewed during the moderation process for the fortified gorge to be depicted harmoniously.
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, Helm’s Deep 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 Lord of the Rings Helm’s Deep.
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 scale of the 3D print model was calculated from the height of Hornburg. The 3D printer design’s chosen scales are 1:450 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:900 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.
