Hey guys,

wasnt sure where else to post this, so let me know if I need to move the thread!

I have seen some pretty poor prize choices before where it seems like the organisers are keeping as much as they can get away with, which is fine, but as a player it is always interesting to see what tournaments come up with.

What do you like to see at tournaments?

I have only organised one tournament before, but I wanted to make something special for the prizes, and since I own a 3D printer, I designed and printed some trophies! Several people at the tournament were also tournament organisers and asked if I could do theirs too (see below). I also used a load of FLGS vouchers

does that make the tournament more competitive though? If you know you're playing just for cash? I imagine that can cause some nasty games? :/

I really like that second one! What machine did you print it on?

How long did they take to print and how did you paint them up? Or did you use metal color fillament?

Each one took around 12 hours to print with a 0.2mm layer, and I used black PLA so the customer could paint it however they like I believe they just spray painted them.

For those interested I have a load more designs and projects that I have 3D printed!
I will add them to OP
