Fantasy Football League Trophy

thingiverse

I designed this trophy from scratch for the fantasy football leagues, featuring four cleverly hidden magnetic mechanisms that add an extra layer of excitement to the game. To open the top lid of the trophy, which features a football on top, you need to follow these steps: Unlock the "stand door" by using the designated "access key," then pull out the "bodkey" from its secure location within the "bodykey." Rotate the bodkey 180 degrees and reinsert it into the bodykey to unlock it. Next, turn the bodykey another 180 degrees to release the latch key and remove it. Finally, use the bodkey to unlock the top lid and lift it off. This trophy boasts two distinct hinges: one integrated into the football itself, which is constructed from a sturdy 1/8-inch metal rod measuring 2 inches in length, and the other located within the "stand door," featuring two opposing magnets measuring 1/8 inch by 1/4 inch each. Four latch mechanisms are strategically positioned around the trophy, consisting of a stacked combination of a 1/8-inch by 1/4-inch magnet and a 3/16-inch by 1/32-inch magnet, which fit snugly into a large opening in the latch. An additional 1/8-inch by 1/4-inch magnet is positioned behind this stacked arrangement to create an opposing force. The bodkey, access key, and crankshaft key all rely on 3/8-inch by 1/8-inch magnets for functionality.
