The model is the best I’ve seen so far - almost perfect. There’s just one thing that slightly affects the appearance of the tower: the tip. It looks a bit too elongated, and the horns go straight up, which takes away some of the tower’s structure and dynamic. I would be very happy if the upper part of the tower could be revised. If that happens, I would even pay 100 dollars for the entire model.
Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear you love the Barad-dur model. Regarding the tower tip, while we believe it's highly accurate to the movie version, we'll make sure to forward your comments to our Moderation Team for analysis. They'll carefully analyze the design and consider your suggestions for potential updates. It's important to note that our contributing artists have a great deal of creative freedom to bring their unique interpretations to life. While we strive for accuracy, slight variations can add a personal touch to the model design. We feel that the contributing artist's interpretation of the tower tip aligns closely with the movie's depiction, but we're always open to feedback and appreciate your passion for the project. In addition to the tip design, do you have any other comments about the Barad-dur model? If you'd like to provide any additional references such as images or screenshots that might strengthen your feedback, our Support Team at support@gambody.com is happy to collect them. Thank you for being a part of the Gambody community!
@@Gambody_com I have to agree with Simon: the top of the tower looks quite plain compared to everything else. The rest is a true masterpiece, unmatched in its detail. I wouldn’t change much about the tower itself, except perhaps making it a bit more imposing like in the movie. Here, it looks a little slimmer in comparison, but the details are fantastic. As I said, the model is breathtaking and almost without competition - the artist clearly knows their craft. I’m planning to make my first video about Barad-dûr and assemble it on camera. If you make these small adjustments, the model will be absolutely perfect!

Hey there! Thanks for your question about scaling the Barad-dur model! It's a fantastic choice, and understanding scale is crucial for planning your 3D print. At the recommended scale of 1:1500 for the FFF/FDM version, the Barad-dur model will indeed stand at an impressive 43.7 inches tall. If you're aiming for a more manageable size around 40-50% smaller, here are some options to consider: - DLP/SLA version: The model also comes in a 1:3000 scale version specifically designed for resin printers. This option is half the size of the FFF/FDM version, making it a great fit for your desired 40-50% reduction. If you happen to have access to a resin 3D printer, we recommend using the DLP/SLA version of the model and printing it at the recommended 1:3000 scale. - Downscaling for FDM Printing: While we generally advise against downscaling models for filament 3D printers, it's not completely out of the question. FFF/FDM printers tend to struggle with very small details when printing downscaled models. This can lead to issues like weak or missing details and difficulties during assembly. However, if you're willing to potentially address some minor detail loss and take extra care during assembly, downscaling by 10-20% may be an option. On the other hand, upscaling is perfectly safe with the models available on our marketplace! The high-poly nature of the models allows for impressive size increases without compromising quality. Remember, when you purchase a model from the Gambody marketplace, you not only get high-quality, high-poly 3D printable STL files, but you also benefit from lifetime technical support - all seamlessly included in the price of the model. If you need to adjust the files to fit the build volume of your printer or have any other customization needs such as enhancing intricate details or optimizing the model's structure to save material, we've got you covered! Feel free to explore the details, and if you have any further questions, we're here to help.
@@Gambody_comI'm new to 3d printing so this might be a stupid question, but what is the real difference from the FDM model and the DLP/SLA model aside from scale? Could I just print that with my FDM 3d printer? Or are they configured differently?
@@OctoPenicle Thanks for the question! The FFF/FDM and DLP/SLA versions of the models available on our marketplace are designed for different printing technologies, and that goes beyond just scale. FFF/FDM versions are typically larger and designed for filament printers with larger build volumes. DLP/SLA versions are smaller and optimized for resin printers with higher detail capabilities. Typically, FFF/FDM versions have more assembly parts designed for sturdiness and to handle the printing process well with rigid plastic materials. DLP/SLA versions, on the other hand, may have fewer parts with simpler connections, making assembly easier since resin prints are more delicate. While this Barad-dur model has the same number of parts that are identical in both versions, we still do not recommend downscaling the FFF/FDM version. Filament 3D printers struggle with tiny details on downscaled models, potentially leading to missing details or weak parts that are difficult to assemble.

@@Gambody_com Also consider a tower of orthanc. Would go nice with barad-dur
Would this still print well scaled down? If this is really 43 inches tall I'd want to scale it down to around 40-50%
