Congratulations Lambda Students!
This is the Unit II completion statue, clad in Bronze, Gold, and Ruby*. This dazzling statue is a tribute to your hard work, dedication, and drive to continue forward. This statue can be printed in up to 3 separate colors of your choice - Allowing the Lambda Shield, Statue Base, and Plaque to shine as separate elements. In my printed version, I chose Translucent Red PLA for the Lambda Shield, Printed with 5 walls and 30% concentric infill. This provided a fogged or frosted glass appearance, with no visible infill design. The base was printed with Sparkly Copper PETG filament. I had a 75ft sample, and the coloring reminded me of polished bronze / polished copper. The plaque was printed in gold PLA. The tolerances for each component are very tight, allowing for a professional and finished looking statue - with no glue! light filing of the male clip ends on the lambda shield IS REQUIRED, and will be completely hidden within the base once assembled.
I felt this statue very much complements our experience with lambda school thus far - We learned a foundation - a blueprint if you will, during unit I - followed by "upgrades" and "components" to our skillset in unit II. Out of this came the unit II statue - a reminder of where we have been, with new flashy upgrades.
Additionally, if you like the component oriented design for the unit II completion award, I have included a Unit I plaque so that you may replace your previous unit I with the new modular style.
I hope my silly trophies are as fun and inspiring to everyone else as they are to me. The point in these designs is to provide a tangible reward to complement the intrinsic value of our accomplishments. There may be a day in the future that you feel overwhelmed, drowning, and out of your element - Look to these statues as your Job well done.
I look forward to continuing my experience with you all, and wish you the best of luck throughout the remainder of our enrollment.
See you back here again, for your Unit III Statue!
*Actually its plastic, but its ok because your reading the fine print.
