The Tolkien Estate (namely Christopher) is incredibly protective of J. R. R.'s works and their integrity. Anything that is produced, they want produced true to his image. That being said they were very much not fans of the theatrical LotR films we know and love by New Line Cinema. Also worth noting that when J. R. R. sold the movie rights back in the 60s, he only sold the movie rights to the LotR trilogy and the Hobbit, but there was an additional clause that stated that if the Silmarillion were to be sold, the company that bought the rights to the LotR/Hobbit would get first dibs on it. So, if they want a Silmarillion movie, they have to offer it to the parent company of New Line Cinema, meaning they'd likely purchase it and produce the movies, which the Tolkien Estate does not want. So, the chances of the rights being sold, at least while New Line Cinema and it's affiliates exist, are practically zero.
So, why not make it themselves? Very much for the same reason. I don't know your familiarity with the Silmarillion, but... it's very heavy reading. Not to say that it isn't a good read, or that the story isn't there, but the first section of the book is a bunch of shapeless angels singing songs about life and accidentally creating the universe, and the remainder of the book has 500 characters with a total of 17 different names that get altered, swapped, and outright changed halfway through the story. A true 1:1 adaption of the book would probably be longer than the original extended trilogy, but be way harder to follow for the average audience. So, major changes would be needed to make it financially viable, which are the exact things the Tolkien Estate does not want New Line Cinema making them.
TL;DR: The Tolkien Estate has to sell the Silmarillion rights to New Line Cinema before anyone else can buy it, and the Estate didn't like the other movies so they aren't going to sell it to them (and thus to anyone). They didn't like the movies because the movies made too many changes to get the books to work for film, so they certainly will not be the ones to make the major changes that would be necessary to turn J. R. R.'s Bible fanfic into a Hollywood blockbuster.
I'm a huge LotR fan (probably going to go see Two Towers in theatre tonight!) and am very much not looking forward to this movie, lol. I was reading Fellowship a few months ago and got to the part of the book that talks about what the plot of Hunt for Gollum is about... Aragorn pretty much summarizes the entire thing in less than a paragraph. It's pretty wild.
Nobody is allowed to make content based off the Silmarillion. The Tolkien Estate has exclusive publishing rights for everything 1st and 2nd Age. That's why Rings of Power is so bad, they're basically trying to rewrite the lore to tell the same story and set everything up the way it already is without being able to use any source material.
It's like, just tell a different story at that point bro.
"I'm too old to care if what I say is true" what age do I get to just start saying stuff and act like other people are the problem when they call me out on pulling shit out of my ass and presenting it as fact?
I'm so angry after seeing this post (which is OBVIOUSLY full of FALSE information 😠) that I'm gonna look up sources and cite them in the shit posting community so everyone knows I'm smarter than them and totally understand what's happening
The corner is laying down. The would be no supports in either case, and the fillet avoids hard turns while the chamfer still has two (less sharp) angles.
Like 99% of things in 3D printing, "Xs are to be preferred over Ys" is an entirely circumstantial statement that is never going to be true all of the time.
You might try adding a small fillet or chamfer to the inside corners of the model. 3D printers don't like making sharp, pointed turns; rounded edges (or wider angled turns) tend to print much better.
The rounded (fillet) corners will probably be less visible, and will prevent the start / stopping point where the problem is occurring
I felt the same way. I'd never seen any star wars before until last year, my star wars nerd roommate and I watch 4-5-6-7-8-9-1-2-3, I finished 7 thinking it was pretty good even if it was just a retelling of 4. Then we watched 8... Oh God, Episode 8... 9 was objectively worse but didn't hurt as bad because I could tell how bad it was gonna be by 8.
