The Lord of the Rings is a classic novel by J.R.R. Tolkien. In that story, characters emerge with power and mystery, making the Lord of the Rings a favorite series of millions. Now you can easily recreate characters and emblematic props even your favorite fictional scenes in the backyard by using a 3D printer. If you have a 3D printer or know someone who does, here is a list of The Lord of the Rings 3D printed action figure ideas you can get your hands on.
The Balrog, also known as the Valaraukar, are creatures from The Lord of the Rings universe. They always have a horned face, a monstrous body, and big, bat-like wings and are 12 feet tall ! Balrog has a flame sword and a fire whip. Only their demon lord, Gothmog, possesses a giant fire ax! And it's not so easy to be an articulated 3d print.
The Balrog couldn't be damaged by any Dwarf-designed sword, blade or gadget. Hundreds of Durin's people, as well as the Dwarf King himself, perished at the hands of the beast known as Durin's Bane. Balrog took over the Moria mines as a secret base. This is also the place where it later encountered the famous sorcerer Gandalf of The Fellowship of the Ring. After a fierce battle, the Balrog of Moria was finally defeated, but it still managed to pull Gandalf down the cliff with the fire whip.
This action figure 3d model is relatively big so a small-size printer won't do the job unless you scale it down. But the size reduction will most likely reduce the quality of the printed model, using a large format printer is most appropriate.
In the Third Age, Legolas was a Sindarin Elf. Although Legolas is only a supporting character, it is also a character that many people love. Legolas is known as the prince of the Elves, the son of Thranduil - the king of the Elves in Mirkwood, this is the most ancient land of the Elves. With his sharp eyesight, sensitive hearing, superb archery and close-quarter combat skills, Legolas was a crucial member of the Fellowship on their voyage through Middle-earth.
Legolas 3D printed action figure can either be printed in separate parts so that you don’t need supports and can then be glued together, or it can be printed as one piece, with supports.
Aragorn is one of the 10 most popular characters in The Lord of the Rings. He was the Son of Arathorn II, of a descending royal line. Aragorn was first presented as a mystery Strider with a sinister air, but he subsequently exposed himself and vowed his allegiance to the Fellowship of the Ring. Aragorn shows his bravery, always fighting to protect justice, friends, worthy of being the heir to King Elendil's sword. Perhaps that's why the end of the movie is named "The Return of the King", a reference to Aragorn's ascent after the victory.
The talented leader has been honored by 3D artists in the form of a print after the result not only of the fierce battle but also in the hearts of fans around the world. Are you a loyal follower of Aragorn, I think he deserves a medal of honor from you, an 3d printed action figure.
Despite being the main protagonist of the series, Frodo only ranks 6th in the Top 10 most loved characters in The Lord of the Rings. Frodo was the grandson of Bilbo Baggins, who held it in his hand and hid it for many years. Bilbo gives Frodo the noble task of going to Mordor to destroy the ring. In the arduous journey, Frodo was accompanied by the tiny Hobbits, then supported by Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Boromir.
Frodo is not loved by the audience because of believing Gollum and chasing Sam away, Besides, Frodo's corruption made him become hateful. However, this is the author's intention to flaunt the magical power of the Ring. Anyway, Frodo is a brave, upright character who can resist the ring's power, which no one, even Gandalf, Galadriel or Aragorn.
You can prison him on your bookshelf after you make his 3D printed action figure. There are top-quality STL files of this impressive model available on the Internet.
In The Lord of the Rings, Gandalf plays a very important role. In the adventure-hero motif, the main character is always guided by veterans who have extensive experience. If Harry Potter had Dumbledore, then Frodo would have Gandalf - one of the greatest wizards in Middle-earth.
Gandalf is known as the "gray wizard", a wise and kind man, always guiding and protecting Bilbo, Frodo and Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Elrond making everyone respect. In The Lord of the Rings, Gandalf stood up to stop Morgoth's demon Balrog, from falling into a seemingly dead abyss. However, Gandalf reincarnated as a "white wizard", defeating the previous "white wizard" Saruman, who had been enchanted by darkness. Then he rescued Rohan, as well as led people against Orcs. During the journey, Gandalf always was the leader against evil, and left many lessons for Frodo, Sam, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli …
Gandalf is also an astonishing figure to craft. Still, you can free this "gray wizard" from slavery by creating his 3D printed action figure and adding it to your collection of 3D printing The Lord of the Rings characters.
Galadriel is an important and powerful figure of the Elves, Dubbed the "Lady of Lothlorien", Galadriel is powerful, even Elrond, Gandalf must respect. She was one of the most beautiful, wise, and powerful Elves in Middle-earth, surpassing virtually all others in beauty, noble, intelligent, great, strong. J.R.R. Tolkien regards her as one of the mightiest and fairest of all the Elves left in Middle-earth in the Third Age, alongside Gil-galad the Elven-king.
Despite not appearing with a heavy frequency in The Lord of the Rings, Galadriel is also loved by many people for her sweetness, decency and nobility.
With a delicate and luxurious design, comes with actual fabric clothes for a realistic aesthetic, thanks to Asmus' Eva feminine form. And the Nenya rings and an Elvish kettle illuminate her gorgeous body. Galadriel at-at figure is the best gift for your children, teenagers, men and even women. It can be placed in many places you can imagine, such as cars, desks, pools, living rooms, etc,…
Gimli, is the son of Glóin, was a Dwarf of the House of Durin and a member of the Fellowship of the Ring. He is one of the most powerful warriors of the Dwarves. Gimli joined Guardians of the Rings initially out of suspicion of Legolas – an Elf who held a grudge against the Dwarves.
Gimli is a short-tempered, self-expressive person, the complete opposite of Legolas but after going through many hardships, Gimli gradually conquered the audience with his sincerity, kindness as well as his sense of humor.
During his existence, Gimli performed numerous exploits, including playing a key role in the battles of Helms Deep, Pelennor Fields, and the Black Gate. He was given three strands of hair by Lady Galadriel as a gift, with the title of ‘Lockbearer.’
Gimli can also be a great addition to your list of The Lord of The Rings 3D printed action figure ideas. You can print the parts yourself and assemble to add a new to your favorite space.
The Nazgûl (Black Speech for “Ringwraiths”), as known as the Black Riders or The Nine, was the terrible ring-servants of the Dark Lord Sauron in Middle-earth. Originally, they were mortal men. Only after being granted the Nine Rings of Power by Sauron, they became Specters and served Sauron. They are invisible ghosts who appear in demonic form to Sauron and anyone who wears the One Ring. as pale creatures with ghastly eyes, white robes, and silver hats.
A Ringwraith 3D printed action figure can also be a great addition to your collection of 3D printing characters. When displaying or using it, your collection still looks cool.
And the last name of the list is Gollum. Actually, this is one of my favorite 3d printed action figure models. Gollum is considered as a little devil, jealous, with an ambition to steal the ring and intend to harm Sam and Frodo. While at the crater, Gollum still tried to get the ring from Frodo and fell into the crater with the ring.
However, his past is full of pain and sorrow when he was enchanted by the ring demon, then turned from a Hobbit into a yokai that can't become a human, lived in hiding. Gollum is a metaphor for an individual corrupted by the ring, corroded both mind and body. Although Gollum is not a good one, it is a pivotal and important point in the story. Therefore, many people love this Gollum character.
Finding prints of this model is easy. You can go online and search for versions with different sizes and resolutions. But this 3D printed action figure is divided into parts that require support. Pieces like the fingers, eyes, loincloth, and ears shouldn't be scaled down.
