Great to recognize outstanding student designs. I used this as an example for a student project on incorporating fasteners into a 3D printed part. The students all made their own trophy figures with similar captured nuts.</p> <p>Trophy figure stands 90mm (3.5 inches) tall. Works great with a wooden base or could be used to replace a figure on the top of another trophy.</p> <h3> <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>Rotate +280 degrees (or -80 degrees) about X axis to lay the back surface flat on the bed as shown in the screenshots. Prints well with no supports.</p></div> Post-Printing</h3> <p><strong>Spray paint all over, brush the details and clearcoat the finished part.</strong></p> <p><p class="detail-title"><strong>Assemble with a 1/4-20 nut in the slot and a 1/4-20 machine screw through a base. </strong></p> <div><p>Drill a little counterbore at the bottom of the base to hide the head of the screw. </p> The screw can insert between 10 and 18mm (about 3/8" to 11/16") into the part, so pay attention to the length of your screw. A 1" long screw through 1/2" (13mm) base material works well.</div></p> <p>You can add sections of PVC or wood with a 5/16 hole through it to make the trophy taller.</p> <p><strong>Or use standard trophy parts.</strong></p> <p>The fasteners are sized to fit standard 1/4-20 trophy threaded rod and couplings. If you want to use this to replace the top of another trophy it works great.</p>
