This faithful recreation of the famous movie prop is well documented by the dedicated designer. Makers have reported success with the recommended layer height of 0.2 mm and 10-15% infill. Most engage in some post-processing work, such as sanding and then adding the gold metallic paint that really makes this model pop.

This design’s popularity is undeniable, making it a standout choice for fans.

Makers have reported positive results following the designer’s suggested infill of 15%. Some sanded the finished print while others left it unsmoothed for a more rustic look. Most used gold paint for the interior and various coats of colors for the exterior. Rub ‘n Buff is also popular to ensure a movie-perfect finish.

Lego 3D Print/STL Files: 35 Cool Pieces & Minifigures

The Cross of Coronado, an iconic artifact from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, is brilliantly recreated in this 3D printed design. According to the movie, in honor of the Spanish explorer Francisco Vásquez de Coronado, there existed a gold cross with a chain and jewels called the Cross of Coronado. It was thought to hold a fragment of the cross that Jesus Christ was crucified on. Indy spent much of his life chasing this relic.

This wildly popular print showcases the great detail that goes into recreating such an important movie prop, with the designer sharing useful print settings. Instructions indicate that they vary their resolution from 0.1 mm for the ornaments and then to 0.15 mm for the crosses. A separate file is linked to for the model of Christ, as the designer indicates any properly sized visage will work for the build.

Items such as the pearls or jewels as well as the chain are sourced separately. Both the designer and many makers provide links to the options chosen in case you want to replicate one of them to a T. The entire build is glued together, resulting in a realistic recreation.

Step into the shoes of Indiana Jones and unlock the mysteries of the Headpiece to the Staff of Ra. Whether you’re looking for the Map Room at Tanis or the Well of Soles, the fabled resting place of the Ark of the Covenant, this is the guide you’ll need to get there.

Discovered by Abner Ravenwood in 1926, the bronze medallion passed through the hands of his daughter Marion, thieves, mercenaries, and even Nazis before Indiana Jones was able to use it to find the Ark.

The designer has provided files to print the medallion whole with supports or in halves with no supports needed. Makers report great success printing in PLA at a resolution of 0.15 to 0.2 mm, with an infill of 15-20%. Bronze paints and clearcoat finishes are typically used to give it that dazzling touch. The jewel is sized to be used with a 1.2-cm gem of your liking, and if you’re not sure what to go for, many have linked to their favorite when posting their makes.

The print also includes the necessary parts for affixing the medallion to a 3/4-inch dowel to use as the staff. The Headpiece has captured the imagination of many, as evidenced by its extensive downloads and successful makes.

Step into the shoes of the legendary Indiana Jones with this stunning 3D printed bust, complete with his signature fedora. This meticulously detailed design captures every aspect of the intrepid archaeologist, from his rugged features to his iconic headgear. The details in his face and hat truly express the look of the character.

The design is two parts; the bust and the hat are separate files. Most makers have reported printing the build at a relatively high resolution, with supports selected for both pieces. The high quality of the facial details allows many to skip post-processing and leave the print with the natural color of the filament, while some opt to paint it for a realistic likeness.

This design itself is a remix, and the original it’s based on has additional remixes showing how popular Indy’s look actually is.

Capture the essence of Indiana Jones in miniature with this delightful design. If you aren’t familiar with the “mini” series of designs that feature many of the famous characters in popular culture, you should check out the collection of designer Wekster. The mini Indy, or “Mindy”, is far from the only fun print you’ll find.

Files are provided for a single print or for printing Mindy and his hat separately. Most of these mini designs are able to print without support, even when sized up slightly. Keep him the color of your filament or paint him for even more fun. You can also opt for resin printing, as seen in the image above, for more detail.

This print is also sort of a twofer: it has a companion piece. The Temple by The3Dprinting is designed to complement the mini Indy and give him a diorama to interact with.

Inject some Indiana Jones flair into your world with this Lucky 13 skin. Based on the wildly popular Lucky 13 Printable Jointed Figure, this skin gives you your very own adventurer. The design has found its place in the hearts of Indiana Jones fans, evident through its likes and downloads.

This skin includes nearly a dozen and a half files with everything you need to outfit your figure like Indiana. In addition to his iconic outfit, there’s also his signature hat and even his whip. The figure is complemented by snakes and torches to round out the scene. Most parts won’t need supports, but the head and the hat will.

While the designer of the original Lucky 13 opted for PETG, PLA should do the trick for Indy. A resolution of 0.15 mm should be perfect for the details in the torches and snakes. The shirt and the torches will need a bit of glue to stay in place, but the rest should just go together.
