Introducing Homegrown3D’s representation of one of the most iconic paintball markers of modern time, the Planet Eclipse LV1.
Need a gift for your favorite paintball enthusiast or perhaps a new design for your paintball print farm? We made this easy to 3D print LV1 artwork and adapted it into four different uses: key chains, desk and shelf art, Christmas ornaments/hangers, and trophies.
This 3D print paintball artwork was created using SVG outlines, and designed with ease of FDM (fused depostion modeling) 3D printing in mind. Created from an outline of a LV1, broken into layers and combined, then embossed and debossed from each other, along with 3D shapes.
This is FDM optimized, meaning: quick to print, no supports needed, minimal material used, and great for print farming multiple at a time quickly, easily, and cheaply.
The Planet Eclipse LV1 3D Print file can be adapted into four different uses: key chains, Christmas ornaments/hangers, trophies, as well as desk and shelf display art.

Key Chains
Key chains have a loop for your key rings. Use either basic key rings or lobster clasps, bronze chains, jump rings, and a jump ring tool for a real high end look. Printing these in Sainsmart 92A TPU (currently out of stock of any good colors, affiliate link) gets a real nice gummy feeling and relatively easy to print at faster speeds in this basic shape.
Standard silver key rings without chains! Get them in 100 or 200 packs!

Bronze key rings with chains and jump rings. At time of writing the bronzed chains are out of stock, silver color only. Looking on amazon there are several other bronze color options.

This jump ring tool makes closing the loops so much easier! It’s essential if you want to do a lot of these. Should be helpful for other jewelry and fashion related items in the future too.

Desk/Shelf Art
Displays the art on a stand. Printed in woodfill PLA, sanded and stained with a Polyurethane stain looks great! With our assortment of coming designs, there will be a nice collection of these for desks and displays. They are a great accent and table topper for product displays.
Our preferred Wood infused PLA. You can stain this and even sand it. We recommend a Polyurethane stain. Make sure you have a hardened nozzle for printing abrasives.

Paintball Trophies
There are two sizes of trophy bases on which you can use the LV1 for the topper. Customize the text in Tinkercad.
Overture Gold PETG does a good job for trophies. One of the better looking PETG’s we have found and the only shiny Gold PETG we have found.

Silk PLA filament for trophies. This is sometimes picky to print, but it’s some of the best and most consistent Silk PLA we’ve had (print at 220C temp)
