New 3D print : SHG recognition coin holders
At Sledgehammer Games, we have a great way of recognizing those around us by giving out special coins. The recognition could be for anything: Hard work, a new tool, helping out, etc.
Many people have collected a number of coins over the years, and I wanted a way to show them off, other than stacks on their desks. I came up with the below design as a response to that: The sledgehammer and text were modeled in Autodesk Maya, and the whole thing was Booleaned together along with the hexagonal base in Tinkercad. Each holder took 5.5 hours on my Makerbot Replicator (1) to print (2 shells, 10% infill, variety of colors in PLA), and then I put them through a two-step paint process to make them look a bit more… weathered.
They were a hit at work, and personally it was crazy to see my printer going 24/7 for over a week without a hitch.
