Trophy with base

thingiverse

This is a fantastic remix of the Trophy Cup 5 from tc_fea, thanks so much for sharing! I added a base with the name of each party guest from my daughter's 4th birthday party. I wanted to print the base in translucent purple PLA, so I added a simple heart inside the base that shines through when you look underneath. Additionally, I added the birthday date on the back wall of the base - if you hold it at just the right angle, it shines through. I made all these changes with Blender. The uploaded file is the original Trophy Cup 5 design without any front text so you can change those things as you like. I also included a Blender file for easy modifications to the name on the front and date on the back (just ask if you need more details). The trophy was printed in three separate processes with filament changes between process 2 and 3. Process 1 (the bottom part of the base, 0-10mm): I used .2 layer height, .4 extrusion width, translucent purple PLA at 205 degrees Celsius, 3 outer perimeters, 15% honeycomb infill, and 3 base layers plus 4 top layers. Process 2 (the upper part of the base, 10mm-10.2mm): I used .1 layer height, .2 extrusion width, translucent purple PLA at 220 degrees Celsius with no outer perimeters - this gives it a nicer finish. Process 3 (the trophy itself): I used .2 layer height, .4 extrusion width, HobbyKings metallic gold PLA at 205 degrees Celsius, and 3 outer perimeters.
