Summary

These are simple pinewood derby trophies that can be customized for your pack (or company, or whatever).

The base, tire and plaque are all customizable using Thingiverse:

• Base
• Tire
• Plaque

Alternatively, you can download the .scad files and open them in OpenSCAD.

If you want all 4 trophies, there are a lot of parts to print, but they are all relatively simple and need no rafts or supports.

I uploaded wood bases for 2022, 2023 and 2024. If people like this and I keep it up after that, I'll upload wood bases for future years.

Print Settings

The tire is customizable and I printed mine by printing most of it with black filament, then paused the printer when the lettering starts and swapped out for white.

The plaques were printed similarly: Print the first few layers in a metallic filament, then pause and switch for black.

Of course, you could also paint the parts, but I happen to have all the right filaments (including metallic gold, silver, bronze, and copper), so I didn't use any paint (although I did stain the wood bases).

The filaments I used:

• Amolen Dark Wood Walnut: Wood base
• Overture PLA+ Black: Plaques, tires, seat belt
• FlashForge White: White lettering on tires
• MIKA3D Shiny Silk Silver and Copper: Metal risers and plaque lettering for 2nd place and Safest Driver, wheels, seat belt buckle
• Amolen Bronze: Metal riser and plaque lettering for 3rd place
• YOUSU Silk Gold: Metal riser and plaque lettering for 1st place

Post-Printing

The only part that I processed after printing was the wood base. I printed it using a filament that contains wood particles, then stained with a penetrating stain.

Once all the parts are printed, just super glue them together.

How I Designed This

The tires for the trophies in the photo were NOT customized using OpenSCAD. I designed them in Fusion 360 with the PACK 20 text and exported and printed them.

To make the tire customizable, I created a copy in Fusion 360, removed the top line of text, exported to .stl., converted the .stl file to OpenSCAD and added code to make the top line of text customizable.
