Kentucky Derby (Churchill Downs) Finish Line Post

thingiverse

Unable to find this thing on Thingiverse, I took to paper and pencil then launched Fusion360 and, after upgrading F360 as it had been awhile if you know what I mean, was able to relatively quickly sketch out a reasonable facsimile of the finish line post at Churchill Downs for this year's Kentucky Derby Hat Day party at our friend's house. I sliced the model using Cura 4.11, Super Quality (0.12mm), no supports, 20% infill. Printed in white filament, took around 4 1/2 hours. Unfortunately, the model has to be flipped vertically before slicing which Cura makes quite easy. I did one print with a Cura filament change to print the sphere on top in gold but when I removed the model from the print bed it fell over and the sphere fell off. Final print was painted by hand.
