That doesn't explain the fact the file is nowhere to be found

Plus, if that were the case, wouldn't one of our UK members have found it?

I saw it on the RPFs facebook page. Chris Wolfe So i got a reply from Microsoft Advertising about the key... I'm not sure it helps. Quoted from Chris Wolfe.
"Microsoft Advertising
Hi there,
The Hobbit ad with the file for the key can be found in The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug Windows 8 Apps. Hope that helps!"
Does anyone have Windows 8?

Chris Wolfe Confirmed, its UK only...

Hi Chris. Are you in the UK? Unfortunately this is a UK only campaign so you'll only be able to access it if you are in the UK."

Chris also had this image in the thread the key on the right is what you would have been able to download. The key on the left is available on Thingverse.

I wouldn't say "better"... Some of the proportions are off
Hey guys,
I'm Chris Wolfe from the above post.
When i get a chance ill post the .STL up on https://www.facebook.com/CombustibleProps?ref=hl
I was meaning to sooner but yeah... no time
My initial thoughts are that it prints well on an UP Plus 2 however it produces an equal amount of raft and scafolding material lol. I haven't bothered to print more than one.

Looked through your FB page, nice work. Didn't see the STL anywhere...

He obviously hasn't had the chance to post it up in the last hour when he said that.
Pretty cool stuff though. Glad to have another FB page to follow.

I have noticed that it's super low poly. No dwarfish (or elvish) writing on the key :cry . If I get some time, might do some work to make it a bit more of a true replica

1st attempt on a makerbot replicator 2x. Part of the key didn't print properly.
Ya, it's not very 3D printing friendly with that piece that sits perpendicular. To properly print this it needs to be sliced in half, printed and glued together. Give me a bit and I'll do that. I'd still like a higher detailed version though...
This is how this should be printed
Here's the 2 files:

Haven't printed them yet, printer's tied up for the next couple days, but this should help . Still kinda sad they weren't the actually .STLs that were used, these are a lower res version with no glyphs - Oh well, still a cool idea!
