Post-Printing

I printed the base in white, sprayed ONE coat Primer, put on two coats of wood clue (i am not kidding) and sanded the thing multible times until it was smooth enough. Then i sprayed it black, two coats as well. And to finish the look of the corvette i scratched it witch 80 grit sandpaper, NO EXTRA PAINT.
If you want more realistic metallic looks i recommend printing it with a metallic looking filament and using PETG instead of PLA.

i played with lots of variations... these were my favouriite

this one looked nice without the acrylic sticks but witch them it was way to bulky

so i landed on this design :))

Then i bought a set of acrylic sticks: 10 pieces, 30cm long and 10mm thick. I cut one stick in half and that did the trick.
So you do not need 10 sticks you need either two short sticks or a longer one.
Though i would not recommend using a longer one than 15mm on both sides as it does not sit extremely stirdy.
I glued them in and on top of each stick i put sockets on, so it sits nicely and does not wiggle as much -and to provide the option to take the corvette off the base with one hand without any issues...

and you are done!
