My main 3D printing activity is making earrings, but when I saw the description of this trophy contest, I decided it would be fun to submit a design. I started out thinking in terms of a tower based on one of my earring designs. The design went through many iterations. I worked on it, the resemblance to the earrings disappeared. It is still a tower, however.
It is meant to express the “emergence” of 3D printing as an important technology. The parts printed in white in my model would be metal in the trophy version.
This is my first time submitting a design to one of the on-line design repository sites, and I’m excited to learn the process.
