Stanley Cup - St Louis Blues

thingiverse

**is it me or is Thingiverse not uploading models for you too?** I wanted a large Stanley Cup with a Blue note on it. I used the boolean operations in Netfabb to create the middle portion of the cup as well as slit the blue note into four seperate parts to print them in different colors. The model is scaled up so when put together it is around a foot tall. Im still experimenting with printing but supports will be needed on the middle section where the note sticks out. The notes can be rotated so they're flat. I could have done it in the model but, .....I didn't. The top part may print better upside-down with supports for the center. UPDATE: I have been using this silver fialment from Amazon; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XSBFB17/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It looks pretty good. Also, I have been printing the top part right-side up and use supports at 75, just enough to hold the part. Im using cura 4.2.1 and changed the "support Z distance" to .3, the support x/y distance to 1.0, and support distance priority to Z overrides X/Y, based on other recommendations. It definitely helps the supports just pop off.
