Everyone should have a copy of Lord of the Rings in their bookshelf. Those that doesn't shouldn't even be trusted near a 3d-printer anyway, so they wouldn't be printing this - in other words, it's safe to insult their inferior taste in books. That said, in the pictures you don't see a copy of LOTR... that's because it's behind a glass bottle shaped as a dog on the top shelf in a book case... and I couldn't be arsed to get a chair to remove the dog and remove the books in order to arrange this photo (true story).
These prints should be fairly easy to do, not much that can go wrong really.
### Parts
- Door. This part exists in a 3 mm variant and a 5 mm variant. Only difference is how sturdy they are, but both are really nice. Print laying down. You might want to use a bit of support to keep the holes nice and tidy (though not really required). Since the holes will be standing upright the top part might easily get a bit deformed. Just take a knife and make it a bit rounder - this will make the insertion of the bottom plate look nicer. Layer height isn't a big deal, but the forward pointing part on the bookrest might be prettier with a lower height. Print without brim. I suggest setting Z-seam alignment to random. Otherwise you will get a line in the middle where you are supposed to insert the figurines.
- Back plate. This is to be inserted into the door. You might have to clean the holes on the door a bit, but once you do that it should slide in place really neatly.…
