One of the organizers, <a href=\"https:\/\/demozoo.org\/sceners\/313\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/demozoo.org\/sceners\/313\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">psenough<\/a>,  asked for someone to print the trophies for the compos , and it seemed to be a good synergy between what I like to do and what contribution would be useful to the party.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How it began<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Work on the trophies for the Inercia Demoparty 2022 began on April of 2022, using <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/demozoo.org\/sceners\/127889\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/demozoo.org\/sceners\/127889\/\" target=\"_blank\">harvestpt<\/a> Inercia designs as basis.<br>I was given free reign  on the design and materials to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The community on<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/discord.com\/channels\/905214698801217576\/905389059235524638\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/discord.com\/channels\/905214698801217576\/905389059235524638\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/discord.io\/scenept\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/discord.io\/scenept\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scenePT discord<\/a> was consulted and regularly informed of the progress of the work on the trophy design as it happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Designs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The major goal was to have a custom designed trophy &#8211; I did not want to just get a trophy from thingiverse and stick a inercia logo on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trophies were designed  on blender, sliced on Cura and printed on a Ender 3V2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default

2022<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What went wrong<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Installed 3D printing capacity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I expected to have a second, bigger and more capable printer completed and working by summer time, but that was not possible. Therefore the ender 3V2 had to do all the printing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ender 3V2 is a good starter 3D printer, but its not good for such heavy workloads :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No filament detection sensor : got an empty spool mid print , and with it, 3 failed trophies, that had to be re printed, wasting another 20 or so hours of printing. This made me measure the weight of every spool to ensure no failed prints due to filament ending before the print. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/hackaday.com\/2021\/02\/17\/ender-v2-layer-shift-problem-rectified-with-cooling\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/hackaday.com\/2021\/02\/17\/ender-v2-layer-shift-problem-rectified-with-cooling\/\" target=\"_blank\">dreaded layer shifting due to driver overheat<\/a> , that led to more waisted material and time. &#8220;Fixed&#8221; it by leaving the board housing partially open. Remember that I am printing 3 trophies at a time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Issues with under extrusion, and broken filament, that were traced to a worn down extruder gear. Replaced the whole extruded for a dual gear , metal extruder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The crowns for the trophies were to be initially printed with 3 different metal infused filaments (copper for 1<sup>st<\/sup> place, brass for 2<sup>nd<\/sup> and steel for 3<sup>rd<\/sup>), but the issues with the extruder and bed adhesion forced me to go to plan B and use a wood infused PLA for all trophies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trials with polishing of the metal infused filament have shown that more time was required to archived the metallic, polished look for the crowns in time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Due to the issues above, even with plan B, not all crowns were printed on time, and I ended up sanding and varnishing additional crowns at the party place. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excessive stringing in some trophies required to additional rework to be for the trophy to be presentable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All this issues added a lot of pressure as the demoparty date approached, since the Trophy production workflow was as follows :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make the competition specific design in blender<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slice it in Cura<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set the 3D Printer and Print<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rework the 3D print (remove supports, remove stringing)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add tape mask to avoid getting paint on unintended trophy surfaces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hand paint the letters with white  background paint, to improve glow of the glow in the dar paint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fill the emboss with glow in the dark paint<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiply all the above by 48.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex
