Project Details

NOTES:

• All of the parts are organized in folders/groups and the download includes all of the 3d images shown here as well as a ReadMe PDF to help you navigate the set and get the most out of it!
  
  
• Start with choosing a base.
• Then choose the "main" vertical piece you'd like to use. Choose one that has a tab at the bottom. That'll go into the slot in the base.
• Then you can choose as many "elements" as you want to, whether they are other large pieces or smaller support pieces. Layer them on the front and back of the main piece, giving your new award visual interest, depth, and weight (and it also makes it *much* more sturdy since you can glue layers to each other and to the base)!

• Watch my support videos for more info on how to get the most out of this amazing set!

FILE FORMATS:

• Ai
• SVG
• PDF
• DXF
• EPS

 MEASUREMENTS:

• (all parts and possible combinations are different sizes)
• The slot size in all bases is 0.24". You'll edit the slot sizes for your materials prior to cutting

MATERIAL I USED:

• I initially cut all of the pieces from 1/4" MDF and then made several versions from a combination of 1/4" and 1/8" acrylic and a variety of colors
• Gorilla Glue Super Glue Gel and Loctite Extreme Glue Gel
  
  
• The bases and the main vertical parts are intended to be made with 1/4".
  
• I *highly* recommend not using thinner material for the main parts. 1/4" will make the award strong and substantial, feel better in the hands, and command a much better price.

AMOUNT OF MATERIAL NEEDED:

• Varies with the parts you choose to use.
• Most awards can be made from a single 11" x 19" sheet of 1/4" material.
