Twilight Imperium Trophy Base and Fleet Tray

This is meant to serve as the base of a large Twilight Imperium trophy. The base also comes apart to serve as storage for a winner's fleet. It also has a spot for a deck of cards (we used the yellow cards) and one extra spot for dice or other custom player components. 

The original “handle” and War Sun models can be found at the links at the bottom of this description. 

No supports necessary. Files should load in the correct print orientations. 

I used a layer height of 0.16 with an initial layer at 0.20. I did high infill (35%) because I wanted the base to be heavy so that the trophy wouldn't be top heavy. You could get away with much sparser infill, it is mostly walls anyway (besides the volume behind the plaque slot). I also used 4 walls and 4 top and 4 bottom layers.

This was not designed to accommodate sleeved cards, but that may be coming. I didn't create this with intention to post it, so some improvement might be forthcoming to make it better for general use. 

Notes:

• Plaque has a blank spot where you can add the name of the winner. If you use the font Handel Gothic, it will match the font of the “PAX MAGNIFICA…” text
• Many of the tray sections are bigger than necessary. My general fleet storage trays are really tight and I get a little annoyed when I have to tetris my dreadnoughts in a tight box to get it to close, so I gave all the slots plenty of space. 
• I used OrcaSlicer's Text tool to add the text to the plaque for my print. The plaque I uploaded has text added using CAD. It should be fine, but the thinnest parts of “IMPERIUS REX” may come out very thin. Let me know if it is an issue and I'll try to fix that. 
• I added a tab to my trophy topper and a slot to the lid to keep a consistent orientation. This isn't necessary if you plan on gluing the topper to the lid like I do. However, I will be posting a remix of the topper to include the tab.
• The topper fits into the lid very tightly by design. It was meant to be a press fit for me, but I haven't spent much time dialing in my printer's tolerances, so ymmv.
• When printing the plaque, pause your print after 1.2 mm (before the text is printed), and change to a contrasting filament to make the text pop.
• If you want a similar pattern on your plaque surface and inside the unit silhouettes, use the "Octagram Spiral" pattern in OrcaSlicer for those surfaces.
• Filaments used were Inland (Microcenter's brand) Twinkling Black PLA and CC3D's Silk Gold PLA, although I wish I got a gold that better matched the gold paint I used on the fleet (maybe CC3D's Silk Antique Gold?). I got the best shine for the gold at 220, but ymmv. 

Possible future improvements:

• Create a split plaque so that a whole new plaque doesn't need to be printed every time someone wins for the first time. I give the entire plaque to the winner so this wasn't of interest for my use case.
• Remix of “handle” with tab added
• Tolerances tuned according to online standards rather than just my printer
• Larger card slot to accommodate sleeved cards
