Custom Trail Emblem Made

Every time I have been in meetings with actual "concept" designers they wear:
Skinny slacks
Open collared button down tops (yes I said tops instead of shirts)
loafers with no socks (apparently a rule)
lots of piercings and tats
ponytail or hair colored a color not found in nature.

These are not Levi's wearin', mud on their boots, faded t shirt kind of guys sitting around drinking a beer.

Get the drift? If you want to be one of these guys then by all means go for it...

I will say their concept and thinking is way beyond my skill set.

LMAO.....glad i physically don't fit that mold. A lot of people i have worked with do. I am just glad i am not in those settings any more and doing my own thing. I would much rather dig ditches than work in an agency again....:ybrick:
 
Got me a set too so I can stare at it. Hopefully it will help me to stay on budget so I can purchase a Trail later this year. :D
 
So [MENTION=74347]Silvr Bullet[/MENTION] was awesome enough to proto the model I need to make an adjustment to the thickness. It stands a little to high off the truck. It does look pretty damn cool though :D

Bad ass!! Who do I give my address to?!
 
Nicely done

:banana::banana::party::bluejump::guitar3::cheer2::bravo::rockon::reddance::whoo:

I think you see how I feel about the prototype
 
Take my money

Im in for stickers and/or emblems.

Id take a few extras just to put in my garage lol

Im me for address/money transfer when it is ready:reddance:
 
Alrighty here is latest print I got from [MENTION=74347]Silvr Bullet[/MENTION]. I am pretty go with it, I want everyone to be stoked about it. I would like your guys opinions. Cus once its out in the wild :)

Note they are prototypes without a smooth finish.

So in order:
1. Profile of the two, the taller of the two was the previous revision.
2. the original tall revision next to an FJ badge, the latest is half that height, so very close to the same as the FJ emblem.
3. latest revision close
4. latest revision far
5. another far angle

Looks really good! I am not familiar with the materials that are used in the 3D printers but was curious if they can be sanded smooth?
 
As long as its smoothed out, Im in. That looks awesome!

[MENTION=74347]Silvr Bullet[/MENTION] was nice enough to print up some prototypes to get a feel of scale to help speed up the process. That is what you are looking at. We would be waiting another month without his help. I am not sure what type of printer he has. His material is sandable. You could always plasti-dip them too :)

I am still waiting on a Shapeways print made with "Strong & Flexible Black Plastic" which comes in a "slight matte" to verify its finish. Of which I will post pics when it arrives next week. I paid just over $20 for the print including shipping. Obviously printing in silver or gold is going to cost more than $20.

Okay I will reiterate what I am doing here. I am not making a bunch of these and selling them. I am simply designing the model and setting this up for everyone as a thank you to the community. You will pay whatever it costs for Shapeways to print them, I am not making anything out of this venture (aside from a couple of prints).

You will go to Shapeways, choose how many 3d prints you want, what color, and what material you want it made out of.

There are about two dozen different materials you can choose from. You can get polished plastics to brass, or hell bling it out with 18 carat gold.

This community is like nothing else... Keep us posted on when these are ready to order from Shapeways. Cruised the site for a bit and like the looks of their materials

The material that is used on the prototype from the 3d printer is just a hard plastic. The lines that you see are from the actual printer laying down layers to build up the height. They are 100% sand able and paintable. I would assume that shapeways has really high end printers, so their machine may actually not leave lines or they have another process that will sand them smooth if you order them in plastic. If anyone wanted the out of metal or a really hard material I think they laser etch them. 3D printing is still very new to me so I hope this helps a little bit. Thank you for doing such a great job on design work on these badges Momo, you are really going to like the finished product when you have them on your truck!
