Shruggie Medal of Excellence

thingiverse

First off, let me clarify that this isn't about politics - you can make of it what you will, honestly. This is the Shruggie or "Presidential Medal of Excellence," which is one of the highest honors in Nerdom, as far as I've heard. When accepting the award, it's considered polite to say "I don't know what this is for" or some variation of that phrase as culturally appropriate, and only then can you applaud and congratulate the lucky recipient. This prestigious medal was designed to be printed in two colors with a black text layer and an alternating color scheme for the base. When deciding on the base color for the medal, it's customary to use the Star Trek uniform color scheme from the original series - yellow or green for command staff (bosses or managers), blue for science officers (general nerds), and red for everyone else (interns). The medal doesn't need to be printed in genuine Starfleet velour; PLA is acceptable these days. Failure to adhere to the standard will void the award and probably result in a few eye rolls. The final official medal should measure 60 x 67 x 4 mm. Please note that I don't have a 3D printer, so I haven't printed this version out. However, I was able to get a similar version printed and corrected some issues from that print in this model (had some floating text that I fixed).
