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?

That said, I ran into a few practical printing and assembly considerations worth noting for other makers:
-The bottom surfaces of the two cap pieces (parts 12 and 13) are not completely flat. I had to add a bit of volume in Blender to get part 12 to print cleanly without corner droop, even at a 0.16 mm layer height.
Some of the part segmentation could be improved:
- The main tree branches could reasonably be a single mesh. After merging them in Blender, I ended up with a cleaner result and fewer seams to manage.
- The cuts suggest the model was intended for single-color printing and painting. However, it prints very nicely using multicolor printing. In that context, the cuts on parts 24 and 25 include small portions of the grass texture, which leads to a very high number of filament swaps for a tiny amount of green on an otherwise base-colored part.
- The curved cut lines between the wall and lawn pieces make sanding and seam cleanup more difficult. Flat cut planes would make post-processing and assembly much easier while still preserving detail.
- The clusters of flowers and foliage on the lawn pieces — especially part 19 — would benefit from being separate meshes. This would help significantly with multicolor printing, and even in single-color prints the current geometry creates very steep overhangs. In many areas this forces supports to be generated directly from the model surface, leading to excessive cleanup. Even with aggressive tree support settings, there isn’t enough vertical space for supports to properly form and support the finer leaves and details.
Overall, this is a beautiful and well-designed model — these notes are simply meant to help set expectations and potentially improve an already excellent design.

Below you'll find detailed slicing settings for Bambu Studio 2.0+, Orca Slicer 2.0+, UltiMaker Cura 5.0+, PrusaSlicer 2.0+, Slic3r 1.3+, Simplify3D 5.0+ to help you get the best results when printing this model. These settings are optimized specifically for this 3D model, but please note they may need slight adjustments depending on your printer or filament. When in doubt, refer to your printer's user manual.
To avoid printing issues and achieve the best quality, we highly recommend applying the following settings:
Bambu Studio 2.0+ For better quality use 0.12 mm layer height, for fast printing use 0.2 mm layer height. For pins and the Ge connectors, use 0.2 layer height.
120-150% of your Layer Height

You can add custom G-code here for the start and end of the print. However, be careful - this is for advanced users only!
You have to calibrate your printer using Ge retraction test models
Retraction Length: For direct-drive setups use 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm; for Bowden extruders use 5 to 7 mm
This is how fast the filament is pulled back—40-60 mm/s for direct drive and 30-50 mm/s for Bowden setups.
You have to calibrate this parameter: Reduce it until the printer starts to hit the parts with the nozzle during printing, then increase it by 0.2.
UltiMaker Cura 5.0+ For better quality use 0.12 mm layer height, for fast printing use 0.2 mm layer height. For pins and the Ge connectors, use 0.2 layer height.
120-150% of your Layer Height
To increase the strength of the print parts, use wall line count: 3
For pins and connectors use 50% Infill
These parameters are for standard PLA plastic. If you are using a different type of plastic, check the printing temperature recommended by the manufacturer. Also, read the description on your filament spool. For fast printers, add +30 °C to the current parameters.
The parameters in this tab vary greatly, it all depends on the quality of your printer. For example, if you have a classic Ender3, stick to the minimum parameters, but if you have a newer printer, for example Anycubic cobra 3 v3, you can select the maximum recommended values
Settings for advanced users, change these parameters only if you have sufficient 3D printing expertise.
You need to calibrate this parameter using Gambody test models. These values are average values for a Direct Drive extruder; for a Bowden extruder, the values should be increased.

These settings only work for 3D printers with multiple extruders
You can try setting all parameters in this section, except the First layer, to values between 0.75% of your nozzle diameter and 1.25% of your nozzle diameter. Adjusting them will help you work out the optimal parameters for the best quality for your print. As for the First layer, you can set it to 150% of the diameter of your nozzle for better adhesion to the build plate (for a nozzle with a diameter of 0.4 mm, the First layer extrusion width can be from 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm)
For better printing quality you have to calibrate this parameter using Gambody test model.
