Gavel

This is a mock gavel. It can be used as a prop for a costume or just as a cool looking display piece. It is printed in multiple pieces and screws together.

Print Instructions

• Material: PLA or PETG (for extra strength)
• Supports: Yes
  • The headpiece will require supports
  • Both handle pieces will also require supports
• Orientation (keep in mind the grain of the 3D print): 
  • Put the headpiece on its bottom and support it
  • Lay both handle pieces on their side and support them
  • Lay the foil piece on its back
• Post-processing:
  • You may want to glue the pieces together for extra strength.
  • You may want to sand off the areas where the supports make contact with the prints.
• Colors (these are, of course, just suggestions):
  • Traditionally, the body of a gavel is a brown or wood like color.
  • The foil piece is optional, but gives a nice contrast with the rest of the gavel. If you do choose to print it, I would suggest printing it in a metallic color.
• Print bed size:
  • This model is cut up into pieces, allowing it to be printed on a print bed of 180 mm³.
