Catan Trophy With Prize Storage (Golden Pieces)

thingiverse

The Catan trophy can now hold the coveted golden pieces, which get to be played with by the winner in their next game. It makes for a very nice incentive to win and can make the games much more competitive! The design features a dovetail slot cut into both the lid and the base. The lid has a satisfying slide with the 0.25 mm gap I designed into the file. IMPORTANT: The base can be printed without support. However, when printing the lid, lay it flat on the print bed with the text facing up, turn supports on, and be sure to use support blockers over the dovetail to prevent the sagging filament from messing up the sliding surface (see the last three images on this post). If you can think of a better solution for print orientation, go ahead, but what I did seemed to work perfectly!
