Futurama themed coin

So yeah this happened…

I decided to throw my hat in the ring for the first running of #PumpkinJam being put on by @CarlThePumpkinMan. The theme is coins, I took a look around me for some general inspiration and fell into my old standby favorite of Futurama as a base theme and while getting started decided to bend the interpretation of coin a bit to make my brain happy.

I ended up challenging myself by building the whole thing in OnShape which I have never used before, since part of the idea of the jam is to challenge yourself and learn. 

The coin is dual sided with Fry on one side and Bender on the other, I scaled up to roughly slammer sized just to make the 90s kid inside of me happy and gave it some small grooves around the edge for a satisfying hand feel. 

My test prints were done with a 0.4 nozzle with 0.2 layer height on a pretty stock Sovol SV-06+ as it is one of the few printers i still have that does “normal” things and felt like a decent baseline. I printed in 3 colors with manual color changes at layer 3 and 14 as the design is only 0.4mm deep to keep a little extra weight, leaning into that slammer feel. As I do not currently have a printer with an MMU or AMS I decided to keep the design simple with 1 color printers in mind.  

I used some old and undoubtedly “wet” Jessie PLA from Printed Solid and Overture the colors are Brad's Orange, Black, and Gunmetal grey. 

The details come out fine with a 0.4 nozzle but undoubtedly would look cleaner with a 0.2 just due to the scale. If i had a little more time on my hands I would go back and change a few things but as it stands I am quite happy with the result.
