Description
Original description:
By the time I created this, I found that there was no easily printable model of Minas Tirith. Some had empty layers, some were just an import of the 3D scan from scetchfab.
So I took the sketchfab original, simplified it, cut off some bits, which would complicate the print too much and here it is. Took about 48 hours on my Prusa Mini Plus with 0.15 layer height.
In the G-Code that I uploaded, you should see that the Tower of Ecthelion is with 100% infill. I modified this bit in the slicer to prevent it from breaking off.
I put a small battery powered light chain into the hollowing, so it can glow in the dark.
The Filament I used was Prusament Vanilla White.
UPDATE
Version 1.1 is the same model, with a prepared base, so that it can be sliced without further adjustments. Version 1 is still with the original base and the tiny feet, which might cause problems when printing.
