Hy guys, the model represents the trapdoor found in Kellar's Keep (HeroQuest). In D&D or in a generic dungeon crawler, it could represent a trapdoor leading down into a deep dungeon...

It is free, and the only post-processing required is the removal of the tree supports, which are very quick to remove. The lid can be opened or closed thanks to the fully functional hinge, and the whole model prints in a single piece!

My last post has been deletd...however I've found one of my model for sale on Temu, I think it's price is too low in my opinion. I also think I'll download the photos to upload them to my model's page—they're nice photos, mine are a bit beginner-level...

Hi everyone, I’m sharing these 3D models with you—completely FREE TO DOWNLOAD, print, and use during your sessions.

  • License: Standard Digital File License (see https://makerworld.com for details)
  • File Format: .stl - .3mf
  • Intended use: printable for personal use, non commercial use

They were originally designed for HeroQuest, but they are by no means exclusive to that game. They can be used in settings such as ancient ruins, dungeon corridors/rooms, or as decorative elements in prestigious rooms of old castles.

For each model, both *.3mf and *.stl files are provided. In both cases, you can scale the model to suit your needs.

Secret Door: printed as a single piece—just remove the supports generated by your slicer and it's ready to use. I strongly recommend downloading the Assembly Guide for further details. The model was designed for FDM printing, but thanks to some feedback it can also be printed without issues using resin printers: the rotation mechanism continues to work properly.

https://makerworld.com/models/2633014-heroquest-secret-door

Corridor Blocker: These last two bring the total to four models that can be used as corridor blockers in HeroQuest, or in other games as decorative elements, line-of-sight obstacles, wall sections, etc. These two models are essentially print-and-play, with no special post-processing required once printing is complete.

Double Blocker: https://makerworld.com/models/2637087-heroquest-double-corridor-blocker-mod2

Hi guys, this model is almost finished. It represents a secret door that's openable and printable in a single piece. It can be used in fantasy tabletop games (HeroQuest, D&D, 3D dungeons in general). I'll upload it to MakerWorld next week!

Hi everyone, I’m sharing these 3D models with you—completely FREE TO DOWNLOAD, print, and use during your sessions; only for NON COMMERCIAl use.

They were originally designed for HeroQuest, but they are by no means exclusive to that game. They can be used in settings such as ancient ruins, dungeon entrances, or as decorative elements in prestigious rooms of old castles.

For each model, both *.3mf and *.stl files are provided. In both cases, you can scale the model to suit your needs.

Stairs: printed as a single piece—just remove the supports generated by your slicer and they’re ready to use.

https://makerworld.com/it/models/2548610-heroquest-dnd-staircase

Doors: there are 5 different models available, each unique. They are all printed as a single piece with an opening door: after printing, apply slight pressure to the door to release the rotation mechanism.

MOD1: https://makerworld.com/it/models/2479030-functional-dungeon-door-mod1

MOD2: https://makerworld.com/it/models/2479022-functional-dungeon-door-mod2

MOD5: https://makerworld.com/it/models/2478963-functional-dungeon-door-mod5

Base: https://makerworld.com/it/models/2473519-base-for-doors

The Niche: a versatile piece that can be used as a wall niche (for example in a castle) or as a protruding wall element. It can also be used in a catacomb or as a dead-end in a corridor. It is printed in multiple components to make painting easier. Assembly is guided by built-in joints (impossible to get wrong), after which the parts can be firmly glued together.

u/Strange_Special4390 — 1 month ago

Hi, I share with you the essential models on MakerWorld to create a 3D HeroQuest board using a filament printer. I personally use a Bambu Lab A1 Mini with grey PLA Matte.
In the collection you will find: corridors, rooms, walls, doors and the staircase.

All the models are free to download, for personal use, and you can find them in the following collection (both .stl and .3mf files are provided):
https://makerworld.com/collections/22024675

Tools you will need

  • Flush cutters for removing supports
  • Tweezers
  • Small files for the rooms/corridors (you can find inexpensive Chinese sets on Amazon)
  • Sandpaper for the final finishing
  • A small manual hand drill with a 2 mm bit
  • VERY IMPORTANT: cylindrical magnets 2 mm diameter × 1 mm thickness (https://amzn.eu/d/0indmvcZ)

I’ve written this many times in the model descriptions and assembly guides: before printing corridors, walls, or door bases, make sure you can find the magnets (try Amazon), otherwise you’ll waste both time and money.

DOORS (photos with black background)

There are 5 door models. All of them are hinged, fully openable and "print in place".
They can be used on the classic HeroQuest board with the dedicated non-magnetic base.

For the 3D board, there is:

  • base with a magnet slot, and
  • an additional door model designed for corner areas.

CORRIDORS (photos with green background)

The corridors connect to each other using a dovetail joint.
I tested assembling and disassembling them many times, and the dovetail holds firmly.

If you want to build a permanent board, you can glue the pieces together.

Each 3MF file already contains the correct number of corridor pieces of that specific type required to recreate the board.

ROOMS (photos with yellow background)

All the rooms are included, and each 3MF file contains one room.

The central room is the only one divided into two pieces, so it can also be printed on the small build plate of the A1 Mini. Just like the corridors, the two pieces connect with a dovetail joint.

You can decide whether to glue them together permanently or not. I still haven’t decided — keeping them separated is convenient because they take up less storage space.

After printing, I personally filed and sanded the rooms because I don’t like the layer islands created by the 3D printer, but that’s purely a matter of taste.

The rooms require 261 magnets.
If you print all the walls, you will need twice that amount.
Then add:

  • 1 magnet for each door
  • 3 magnets for each corner door you print.

WALLS (photos with red background)

I divided the walls into 6 sets, each with a different style. Of course, you can mix the styles together — I personally don’t like dungeons where every wall looks identical.

Each 3MF file contains one set composed of:

  • two mirrored corner walls, and
  • one straight wall model for that style.

You can decide how many straight walls and corner walls to print.

PROPS (photos with blue background)

As of today, the staircase is available. Just like with the doors, you can use it both on the classic board (the cardboard one) and on the 3D board. Not only that, you can use it for all your dungeons, even if they're not HeroQuest.

Coming soon

I will soon upload:

  • corridor blocking tiles (Done, I just need to take a few photos for the model-page on MakerWorld. )
  • secret doors (I still need to design them, but they will also be hinged and openable, just like the normal doors).

Hi everyone, I’ve created 5 free 3D models of openable doors that can be printed in a single piece; the idea came from using them for HeroQuest, but they’re great for any dungeon. Each model can be printed in one piece (I’m using an A1 Mini). You need to remove the supports, and once printing is complete, apply light pressure to the door to unlock its rotation. The base is in a separate file, always available in my MakeWorld collection, and it can be glued to the door or simply slotted in so you can remove it later.

The models and base are free and downloadable at this link  https://makerworld.com/collections/22024675
