FIFA World Cup Trophy base

Not so much of a remix, more of an addition!

In order to make the trophy look more like the real deal after I had made it, I studied a couple of photographs and came up with a base as shown in my photograph.

The base will accommodate the original model scaled to 80% or maybe a wee bit more and is 27mm tall.

I swapped filament twice as the base was being printed - green, gold and then green again to get close to the original trophy.

Once I had printed it out, it then occurred to me that I should be able to add the text as well which is what I did .... but didn't print (as I already had a plain base and didn't want another). Instead, I took the text and printed this separately before gluing onto my base which is what you can see here.

EDIT (14th June)

Since printing my original, I have reworked the base to reduce the amount of filament needed. The new photo - the one with the embossed text "built in" rather than stuck on, weighs in at around 30g and prints without support as I suspected. (Infill 10%).

Instructions

There are four STLs here.

The plain base which is what I printed, the text which I also printed and then glued on - needs support but came out well with a 0.4mm nozzle despite its size.

The other two files, I have NOT printed but are there just in case you want to print the base with text standing proud of the base or else indented. I will leave it to you to decide whether or not the angles are such that you will need support but I suspect not.

If you want to print in two colours as I have done, you will need to inspect the GCODE and determine when to pause your printer. The plain base is 27mm high so I paused it at 9mm and again at 18mm.

(By the way, I have got France to beat Spain in the final but saying that ..... Come on Ing-er-land. :-)
