Ultimate Catfish Trophy (Fishing Cup)

🏆 Ultimate Catfish Trophy (Fishing Cup)

Have you conquered the giant of the lake or are you looking for the perfect gift for a passionate angler? This detailed catfish trophy is a real eye-catcher in any angling club, hobby room, or on the mantelpiece.

The design combines a classic, elegant cup with a dynamic sculpture of a catfish (Waller) enthroned above the goblet.

🎨 Features & Design

• Detailed Catfish: The barbels and typical body shape of the Waller are finely crafted.
• Classic Cup: With laurel wreath details and a globe emblem.
• Customizable: The base has a smooth plaque. Here you can directly insert names, dates, or the catch weight in the slicer (e.g., with the text tool in Bambu Studio).

🛠️ Printing Recommendations

• Material: * Gold/Bronze PLA (PLA Silk) for the trophy body.
  • Marble or Wood PLA for the base.
  • Olive/Gray/Black for the catfish (also looks great in solid gold!).
• Support: Due to the expansive shape of the fish and barbels, Tree Supports are strongly recommended.
• Layer Height: 0.16mm or finer to clearly represent the details of the fish and the curves of the trophy.
• Infill: 10-15% (Gyroid recommended for stability).

💡 Tips for Makers

For the ultimate look, I recommend printing and painting the fish separately (as shown in the preview images), or AMS users can print in multiple colors directly. The plaque on the base can be ideally highlighted with the "Fill"-function in the slicer.

Show off your catches! I'm thrilled to see photos of your printed trophies and a rating if you like the model!
