This is a good size piece of terrain and while I could put it on my Bambu Labs A1 Mini 3D printer it would cost me $12.95 for the .stl files from Printable Scenery and probably about $10 worth of filament. So in these cases EnderToys to the rescue - their prices on Amazon range from "amazing" to "you want how much" - so you have to pick and choose to what works with your budget - anything in the $10-$20 range is pretty good and as I'm typing this EnderToys has this on Amazon for $20 minus 20% = $16.
Unfortunately the piece is too big for my background paper, but it's better than seeing a messy paint booth. The painted image from Printable Scenery I thought was rather well done - so I didn't reinvent the wheel on this one but more or less gave it a go using their visual queues.
I actually painted this during the summer and used it in a Dungeons and Dragons session - I think I had some large spiders in the encounter for the party. Unfortunately I don't recall the specific colors used or the order I did it in - I just remember it taking me the good part of a Saturday for our Sunday game and that I thought it turned out way better than I was expecting for some reason.
Overall I think it's a great 3D print and can be used for all sorts of encounters from an old mausoleum buried by time in the forest with large spiders to ghosts / undead creatures in the cemetery to an ancient hilltop where a gang of villains are using the mausoleum as their hideout - in all cases there could be a trap door leading to further dungeon encounters.
