BBQ Ribs Trophy

thingiverse

BBQ Ribs Trophy was custom made for a friend of mine and his annual BBQ cook off party. It was never meant to be shared but I leaked the design on line and people showed interest. For me, this project is done and I will not edit or customize it for any other purpose or anyone else. It is three piece because I didn't want to build tall supports for the ribs up high. Instead you can print ribs with raft and dense support straight from the build plate. Printing the flames on the base could be tricky. I personally was not too happy how mine turned out but due to time line and material I had to draw a line somewhere. The terrible ghosting actually adds to a cool effect on the flames :) The square base I added few processes in S3D so I can start with very loose infill and end up using quite dense to help print the top face nice and flat. I am leaving the plate empty assuming you have ways of adding your own text into it. I printed the plate face side down about tree layers in black. Then I swap back to gold and printed 5 solid layers on top of that, to seal the plate and all the little bits of letters into one piece. There is cool video for S3D on how to swap filament on you tube by Jantzen Day. I ended up using "Loctite Super Glue Ultragel Control" to glue it together. Good luck and happy printing
