3D printed trophy, custom making your own honor
Image of the World Cup: A spiral line rises from the ground to support the earth
It is a powerful expression of the passion of the moment of victory
It is the most coveted sacred honor in football for every country in the world
It is also the ultimate dream of all footballers in every country
The Palme d ‘Or is the top prize at the Cannes International Film Festival in France
The palm leaf represents the winner’s value
It was a rare and precious symbol of victory
For the most part, trophies are more than anything else
It is a recognition of all the efforts and fights
It is a source of inspiration that never gives up
Every trophy has a story behind it
Today we are going to talk about a Customized Trophy for Mercedes-benz 3D printing
The original offering was a simple 3D model
Font, color Numbers and even the size of Benz’s three-pointed star circle logo have been revised and adjusted repeatedly
Finally, it reaches the most ideal state
Piecemeal
Leave a proper assembly gap
Start printing
Resin was still left on the surface when the machine was first dismounted
It needs to be washed with alcohol
Smooth surface
The font is clear
Spray primer and polish
Thin rods are extremely easy to break and require special attention
Ribbon color is the customer and spray painter after repeated comparison
Final decision: matte China red
The smoother the polish, the better the paint effect
Of course, every piece of product that gets into the hands of the customer
Body often harbors a great soul
The base is hollow out and filled with plaster
It can save printing cost and achieve the right weight
Here comes the hard part!
Two different colors are required for the base font and the peripheral plane
The font color on the gold base is 429U
Font color 431U on silver base
The font of this trophy is also very small
Common methods are difficult to implement
Screen printing, on the other hand, only works with raised fonts
The spray painter tried everything
Hand coating and sand filling
I even tried laser engraving
None of them worked well
But the delivery date waits for no one
The scheduled time is drawing near
The master tossed and turned
Fortunately, everything comes to him who waits
After many days of hard thinking
Finally let the master find a feasible way
Paint the whole font color first
Then screen the flat gold or silver
Screen printing can’t print sunken text
I don’t print words
Change printing convex plane
The final result is quite a surprise!
Do things, is to have this can break the conventional thinking of the reverse!
Grasp the nettle, dare to innovate and strive for perfection
It is the most basic quality of every dream printer!
