To be honest, I've only played D&D a handful of times. The first time, I joined a campaign that was already in progress, and my character's role ended up being... a loot box (a very important role for the story, of course!). The second time was playing Baldur's Gate 3 on the highest difficulty. We made it all the way to level 4... and then we lost :( Since this contest is all about imagination and role playing, I wanted to create something that felt interactive instead of just decorative. I started looking for drawbridge models, and to my surprise, there weren't many available (especially ones inspired by D&D) so I decided to design one myself. The mechanism is actually quite simple. It uses three pulleys and a hand crank to raise and lower the bridge. Surprisingly, the most challenging was decorating the model and making it look like a proper medieval gate (i mean, i tried). This is both the largest and longest print I've ever made, using close to 500 grams of filament. I tried to reduce material usage as much as possible, especially in the base, which prints with just 5% infill. Thankfully, all of the print plates completed without any issues. The model is optimized to print without an AMS. If you'd like a two color gate/door, you can simply add pause commands during the print to swap filament. For the finishing touches, I added small grilles, and a couple of crocodiles in the water. I also took the opportunity to try some plastic safety eyes I bought on AliExpress, and they really add a lot to the final result. That said, I've also included printable eyes if you prefer a fully printed build. I'm going to try to upload an assembly video (video only, no audio). The assembly process is very straightforward, but I think it could still be helpful. If you're interested in printing the model and have any questions, feel free to ask! Materials ~20 cm of yarn/wool , Used as the rope for the pulley system. I experimented with shoelaces, but they didn't provide enough frict
