Masonic Trowel (Display Prop / Symbolic Accessory / Fast Print)
A clean, recognizable Masonic trowel design—made as a lightweight display piece, prop, or symbolic accessory for presentations, lodge-themed decor, and photo shoots. Quick to print, easy to finish, and great as a “giftable” print for fellow brethren.

Why people download this one

• Instantly recognizable trowel shape (looks great in photos)
• Fast print and easy to batch-print for gifts
• Perfect for paint/metallic finish (turn it into a convincing “ceremonial” look)
• Simple geometry = reliable print success on most printers

Recommended Print Settings (FDM)

• Material: PLA (easy) / PETG (tougher)
• Layer height: 0.20 mm (0.16 mm for a nicer surface)
• Walls/Perimeters: 3 (or more if you want extra stiffness)
• Infill: 10–20% (increase to 25–30% if you want it more rigid)
• Supports: Usually not needed (depends on your chosen orientation)
• Orientation: Flat on the build plate for best strength and finish
• Brim: Optional if your edges tend to lift

Finishing Tips (for maximum “wow”)

• Light sanding on the flat faces
• Primer + metallic spray paint (silver/steel/gold)
• Optional: a dark wash in the edges/lines for depth
• If you want a “wood handle” look, print the handle in brown filament or paint it

Scaling

• Scale up for a wall/display piece, or scale down for a token-size prop—this model scales well.
