Design for a medal template with ultimate customization options within the slicer!

 

The main design is a basic medal made for use with a basic lanyard. The medal is made up of a front plate, back plate, and outer ring that also makes up the middle of the design (to reduce filament changes). The medal is 75mm in diameter and 4mm thick. Use the “Text Shape” tool within BambuStudio or other slicers to add text, numbers, or even some symbols to the back and/or front of the medal. Text can be added as a differing filament, can be cut from the design, or made for exposed infill. See photos and notes below for how to achieve these features. I've also provided links to some of the lanyard options that work for this medal given the size and location of the hole at the top.

 

See photos for further instructions/diagrams to the steps below.
