University of Wisconsin Badgers Logo Wine Stopper

thingiverse

This is a remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:92162 which is a University of Wisconsin Logo. Here I added a base to the logo with a hole in the center. A wine stopper can be threaded into the hole. The wine stoppers I had were metric and I didn't have any metric taps, so I just turned the wine stopper thread into the hole and it was able to cut its own thread in ABS. The original suggested printing two, in different colors, and attaching them. I wish I had made the logo twice as thick so it would be more robust. I'm not worried about it breaking during normal use, but it feels a little more fragile than I'd like. Overall I'm happy with it and didn't want to spend more time on it as this is a one-time gift for a friend. I was honestly hoping to find a model of Bucky to attach to the wine stoppers, but I couldn't find one online and that type of 3D modeling isn't my forte.
