Bakeblade - Cupcake Battle Top

Hello everyone!

This is the Bakeblade, a cupcake themed top meant for battling or for just having fun! I saw that Printables was doing a battle top contest, which got me thinking about the Cupcake Shaped Two Compartment Container I made and how the top of that cupcake looked a lot like the bottom of a top. Following that line of thinking, if the cupcake was the top, that meant that the launcher could be the wrapper! The idea fit so well and it sounded fun, so I decided to make it, and here are the results!

Printing Information

The top is comprised of three parts that snap together, and combined with the Wrapper and Ripcord that make up the launcher, the whole project is composed of five printed parts.   I've included Ripcords for both left and right handed users, as well as two different Frosting models. The Joined Sprinkles Frosting part has the sprinkles connected for a simple single color printing process, and is uploaded as a STL file. The Separate Sprinkles Frosting part has all of the sprinkles saved as separate bodies to aid with multi-color printing, and is saved as a STEP file. 

All parts except for the Ripcord and the Spinner Core will require some support material, but all supports are in areas that should be easy to remove.  I recommend the print orientations shown below for each part:

For the Wrapper Launcher, I recommend manually setting the bridge direction if that is an option in your slicer.  That way you can make sure the space where the ripcord gets inserted is spanned in the ideal way to minimize the amount of support material needed.

I had tons of fun working on this project, and I hope everyone else enjoys it as much as I have!
