I'm meticulously printing each layer with precision, carefully sanding the surface with a fine-grit sandpaper to achieve a smooth finish. Next, I'm applying a coat of filler, allowing it to dry before wet-sanding again with even greater care. A fresh coat of paint completes the exterior, while the internal components are expertly bonded together using Z-POXY, a robust resin glue. To add a touch of elegance, I'm meticulously varnishing the surface, ensuring a flawless finish. To replicate the weight and feel of a genuine piece, I'm carefully filling the interior with high-quality gypsum, which adds substantial heft to the overall design. The entire process requires an impressive 40 hours of printing time, utilizing a 0.2mm layer thickness. Weighing in at approximately 1.5 kilograms, this creation stands tall at an impressive 366mm. The base stand boasts an infill percentage of 20%, with no supports whatsoever, while the next phase involves adding a substantial amount of gypsum, weighing around 100 grams. In contrast, the main stand is printed without a bottom and features an infill percentage of just 5%, accompanied by numerous supports. The pin exhibits an infill rate of 30% with no supports, whereas the ball boasts the same infill percentage but requires supportive structures. The medal shows an infill rate of 20% with no supports, while the words are completely filled to the brim at a staggering 100%, also lacking any support structures.
