Last crawled date: 1 year, 11 months ago

I'm a student at Clover Park Technical College, my name is Anthony Lind and I'm 20 years old
The program that I'am taking is Manufacturing Technologies and I have a degree in Welding Technology.

instructors names: Ken, Tracy

I made a pumpkin shaped trophy. both 2 pieces and a more broken up version to make to easier to print without having supports on the whole thing.

the pumpkin trophy idea come from my school. they have a yearly pumpkin carving contest, however they don't have a trophy so. I 3d model'ed one up because I couldn't find anything like I in visioned.

by the way. the stl of the pumpkin head only (p head only) file seems to open up in mm not inches for some reason for me. I don't think it will be a problem for everyone, however there is a screenshot with the x y and z in inches that u should scale it up to in order to fix it. if it happens. In other words my software is opening the stl as 6.21mm tall not 6.21inches tall for not only z but x and y also.

the trophy size is Z 6.21 inches by 4.61 inches by 6.02 inches

print files//

2 piece print files: pcct all as one print.stl, name plate for pcct.stl.

4 piece print files: p stand.stl, p head only.stl, p name plate only.stl, p screw only.stl

If my model is a winner and I get a 3D printed model of my trophy I think,
I think having this thing PolyJet printed would be amazing
as far as material goes I think it would be cool if it was a 2 tone print with the orange and yellow around the inter walls of the eyes and mouth. I was looking at the Stratasys polyjet material selection guide, online and for color reason i was looking at earthier ABS or HIPS, however that being said if the pros have something else in mind for what would be best I would love to hear what it is

I don't know how the two tone color settings work but if it is possible to print it like that but, idk if i have to have those faces somehow on a file.. of there own .. ?or selected somehow. I could do that just let me know
