Hobbiton Bonsai Pot STL files for 3D Printing | Assembly Model

3D MODEL HISTORY

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?

3D PRINTING MODEL FEATURES

Model-specific features:

• Designed to house a real bonsai tree, with extra STL files for a specialized pot with a bowl for drainage;
• For optimal fit, get your bonsai tree first, then adjust the model's print scale, The pot's depth should equal the trunk's diameter. For oval pots, the length should be 2/3 the tree's height;

• Windows are provided as separate parts, allowing them to be printed in transparent material for LED integration to light up the Hobbit-hole;
• The bonsai pot and bowl are designed to be easily removed for convenient tree maintenance or rotation.

Printing & assembly details:

• Provided as error-free STL files compatible with most 3D printers;
• Optimized part division minimizes support material and ensures smooth surface detail;
• The assembly parts in the FFF/FDM version come in the recommended print orientations for easy bed placement;
• Assembly manual in video format is included for both FFF/FDM and DLP/SLA versions;
• The model is available in recommended scales of 1:1 for both FFF/FDM and DLP/SLA versions.

Below you can find printing recommendations for Cura, Bambu Studio, Simplify3D, Slic3r and PrusaSlicer software.

Disclaimer: The following printing settings are a recommendation, not an obligation. The parameters can vary depending on the peculiarities of your 3D printer, the material you use, and especially the particular assembly part you are working with. Each part that any model comprises often needs preliminary review, and you are free to tweak the settings the way you find suitable.

Note:

You can scale up the model (downscaling for FFF/FDM 3D printers is not recommended!);

All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill.
