I designed this trophy up for my office March Madness contest. My team is called UACT (shown in the images), but I've included generic “March Madness Winner” plaques for 2024-2030. I've also included a blank plaque in case you want to customize your own using the text tools in Bambu Studio/OrcaSlicer (unfortunately not yet possible in BambuHandy App).
I printed the top in Overture PLA silk gold, the bottom in Overture PLA Matte Brown, and the Plaque in Sunlu PLA black and Sunlu PLA silk silver. Ironing is ON, so if you have a filament that doesn't like ironing at 20% flow rate, you might want to re-slice this one yourself. The plaque press-fit into mine well enough that I didn't need glue, but you could easily superglue the plaque on as well.
This trophy is intended to be used with an airless basketball (not included) like this scaled down to 50% (~120mm diameter): https://makerworld.com/en/models/218881?from=search#profileId-253732. I printed mine out of Orange Ninjatec Cheetah TPU, but you can slice it however you'd like. I just sat the basketball on top of the trophy so you get a fun functional ball to play with!
