Carolina Reaper Trophy 2018

thingiverse

My wife picked up a few Carolina Reapers and I thought it'd be fun to make a trophy for my friends who took the "challenge" with me. The pepper model is self-made from one of the peppers I ate that night, and I remixed the base. If you're not familiar with the Carolina Reaper, they're incredibly hot - the hottest pepper available to consumers - and they really do look like that: wrinkled, terrifying, and horned. I tried to keep the wording on the trophy generic, but it does have a tiny "2018" on the back, which might make it seem outdated. I can't imagine anyone finding a use for this print, but I thought I'd share in case someone wants to use the pepper as part of something else since I couldn't find a high-definition scan online. The print was easy; I didn't need supports or special settings.
