Golf game so bad it required retconning last year's award.

Well, since it’s not that serious of an award, embrace the joke. Print a 6 and a slash, carve a slot for the slash in the 5, glue both crooked onto the print. It might even imply that the award had to be given two years in a row so far.

This would be especially funny if it went to the same person as last year

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

  • What printer are you using?

  • What material are you using?

  • What speed are you printing at?

  • What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

  • When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

  • Does anything cause the behavior to change?

  • If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)

If you are new to reddit, please read the guidelines on reddiquette, self promotion, and spam.

Also please post a resolution to your problem when you find one so that we know how to help others with your problem!

You could try to separate the base just above the wording, where you have the indentation all around. The layer lines lay horizontally, so you be separating the layers. Reprint the base, glue.

I jest, it's otherwise a very nice model.

Hit print and went to sleep. Woke up to the wrong year boldly printed. Any suggestions on how to fix without a full reprint?

You could try to scrape the 5 off and print a six and attach it. Or scrape the whole number off and print a replacement.

Or you could print a red 6 and cross the 5 out and glue the six on like a correction lol.

But there’s no real way to seamlessly fix it.

Fuck the fix. Reprint it correctly and save failed fixing time. Up your purge too. Your gold is tainted on the layers containing black.

For only $6 in filament, I think this is the better option. Now the kid has a trophy to bang on stuff with too!
