That's too funny! Print your own trophies. Now you don't even have to participate to get a trophy!

Probably a dumb question, but it looks like that layer between the curvy cup part the cylindrical base split and delaminated. Is it supposed to look like that?

Nice that it turned out so well. Have many problems running the trimmer line? I've read that it can be destructive on the hot end. But that might only be if there is the PTFE tubing?

That is correct, you need the all metal hotends such as the E3D. The nylon requires temperatures that will melt the Peek and ruin the PTFE.

It didn't delam, but there is a weird perimeter on that first layer that didn't stick. About 20mm of it didn't stick to the base, for some reason. The rest printed perfectly. I cut it off post-print and you can't tell.
Weird.
I coated it with a flexible rubber spray, and it's getting a couple coats of paint to look like a worthy trophy for our annual golf tournament.
I'll post pics when finished.
