Mario Kart 8 - Lightning Cup Trophy
Description
Do you need something to show that you're better at Mario Kart than all your friends? Or maybe just a better human being? Print out the Lightning Cup Trophy to show your skills - all with a single material printer! This is a bit of an older model (July 2017), so the quality is a bit lower than my current ones. Unfortunately, this also means I was unable to share the source Inventor files. It still looks and prints great, though! If you don't have a printer, but you still want to brag about your Mario Kart skill, you can pick one up over at [my shop](https://brentwerder.design/shop/). In order to print a Lightning Cup Trophy on any 3D printer, you'll need: (<i>Print in gray.</i>) 1x . . . . . LightningCup_base.stl (<i>Print in gold.</i>) 1x . . . . . LightningCup_boltLeft.stl 1x . . . . . LightningCup_boltMiddle.stl 1x . . . . . LightningCup_boltRight.stl (<i>Print in black & white - see below.</i>) 2x . . . . . LightningCup_plateCloud OR... (<i>Print in black & white - see below.</i>) 1x . . . . . LightningCup_plateCloud 1x . . . . . LightningCup_plateBlank ...and put text / graphics on LightningCup_plateBlank to customize! I had the best results using everyday superglue to hold the PLA parts together. Printing these parts at 100% scale is what I would consider "life-size," and smaller sizes have not been tested - do so at your own risk, and let me know if the model works at smaller sizes! In order to get the black and white effect on any *SINGLE* or *MULTI MATERIAL PRINTER* (optional): 1. Slice LightningCup_plateCloud.stl or LightningCup_plateBlank.stl 2. Upload the .GCODE to [Prusa ColorPrint](https://blog.prusaprinters.org/color-print/) and perform 2 color swaps - one at Z = 3.5mm and another at Z = 5.5mm. This can also be done in Cura using the "Pause at Z" function, in Simplify3D using the "Pause at Layer Height" function, or manually if you're a risk taker. 3. Load black filament and start the print. 4. At Z = 3.5mm, the first ColorPrint swap, swap the black filament out with white filament. 5. At Z = 5.5mm, the second ColorPrint swap, swap the white filament out with black filament. 6. Scrape the print off the machine, glue it to the side of the base, and post a Make! That's about it! Thanks for dropping by, and happy printing! -Brent
