Spell Effect Wall of Ice

This is a Spell Effect Wall of Ice remixed from: The Wall / Muralha - Game of Thrones by 3dgeekshow posted April 13, 2019 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3559998 I carefully extracted the ice facings from the original file and sliced them as thinly as possible without creating holes. I duplicated the layer, rotated it 180 degrees, aligned, and joined them within Meshmixer. I then made them solid before hollowing out at the highest resolutions available. Next, I set the dimensions and trimmed the bottom to a flat surface. Both sides of the wall look identical. My printer is an Ender 3 with a nozzle diameter of 0.4mm. I began by using the LH profile (Luke Hatfield). I then adjusted infill to 0%, initial layer to 106%, print speed to 40mm/s, and temperatures to 225C for all nozzles and 55C for all beds. I also applied blue tape on the heated glass to ensure secure adhesion. Additionally, I added brim for taller prints visible in the photos. The PLA used is 3D Solutech See Through Aqua Blue 3D Printer PLA Filament 1.75MM Filament, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, 2.2 LBS (1.0KG). I utilize Mage Knight Dungeons, so I printed my short walls to 57mm tall to match the dungeon walls' dimensions. I also printed at 100mm and 150mm tall with a 20mm deep base. Photos include comparisons to commercially available versions taken outdoors; the very blue-looking one was captured with flash and showcases detail well, and the last demonstrates light passing through. No post-processing was done after printing. Enjoy Hroudland
