Description
Here is my version of the "inanimate carbon rod" from the Simpsons. There are different stl-file options for printing. It is possible to print everything by itself and glue it together. There is no support needed.
I printed the base with 20% infill, and the rod with 40%.
The Inanimate Carbon Rod is a rod made of carbon. Two such rods thwart Homer in his quest for respect.
The first was an employee at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant who wins the "Worker of the week Award" in recognition of his long overlooked "tireless efforts" without which the plant could not function. This greatly angers Homer who is now confirmed as less valuable to the plant than an inanimate object and is the only human at the plant not to win the award. In the episode "C.E. D'oh", it is shown on an org chart that the rod outranks Homer.

The other rod was a component of the NASA Corvair space shuttle which Homer, Race Banyon and Buzz Aldrin were on. When Homer snapped the handle off the shuttle door, Banyon prepared to kill him, so Homer took the rod off the wall to smash Banyon's "pretty face" in. However, Homer unintentionally lodged the rod in the shuttle door, closing it and allowing Homer and the other astronauts a safe return to Earth. The rod received all the credit. It was featured on the cover of Time magazine with the caption "In Rod We Trust!". It was also given the main seat in the subsequent parade, much to Homer's annoyance, as he had been upstaged yet again by an Inanimate Carbon Rod. Homer then turned off the TV airing the parade, much to the chagrin of Bart and Lisa, who proclaimed "they were about to show a close-up of the rod!"
