Badminton Trophy

I designed this model for a competition here in my city, and I really hope you like it and find it useful.

To make the trophy heavier without using too much filament, I created a hollow section inside the base and added a pause right before it closes.

The Base Infill part should be printed separately and filled with something heavy, such as modeling clay. Then, during the pause, simply place it inside the Hollow Base. Once the print resumes, the printer will close the base with the weighted piece already inside.

I also included another version of the base that uses regular slicer infill, in case you prefer a simpler printing process.

To achieve the metallic finish shown in the photos, I printed the trophy in black and then painted it with gold acrylic paint. For a more realistic antique-gold effect, use a fairly dry brush and lightly brush over the raised areas. This helps bring out the details and gives the model a much more natural metallic look.

Thank you so much for checking out my design. I really hope it works well for you, and I’d truly appreciate a Boost if you like it. Your support means a lot and helps me keep creating and sharing more models.
