FS: Custom 3D Printed Retro Toyota Badges - SW WI

[MTD]

What about something like this http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/at...25962797-fj-cruiser-toyota-badge-imag0396.jpg done in two parts. The bar along the back made thick enough and with a groove on the back side to mount to an aluminum flat stock for alignment and mounting.

Found it.

I'm back! August 2015​

Because of classes, work, and other time commitments, I will have to temporarily stop printing badges. Current orders will be fulfilled, but I will not be accepting any more at this time. I look forward to taking more orders after Christmas during my winter break, and also during my summer vacation. Thank you for your understanding.

3D Printed Retro Badges​

3D printing is on the rise and the automotive industry is not any exception! I have always loved old school yotas and wanted a retro "TEQ" badge for the grille of my Runner. As you may know they are pretty much impossible to find and though there are some passable reproductions out there I decided to do something a little different.

These badges are printed on a fused filament fabrication style 3D printer. These printers are great because they are cost effective to use and produce results fairly quickly. Where there are positives the negatives are not all that far behind. The surface finish that is produced on these machines is not like you would expect on other injection molded plastic piece, it is comes off the printer quite rough and takes some elbow grease to get a passable finish. We use acetone smoothing to take that mediocre finish and smooth it out greatly. This being said the process is not perfect, but that is what custom parts are all about. If having minor imperfections in the badge will bother you, these may not be for you. bellow is a sample of what the badges look like before they are smoothed and after before priming.

Lead time is 2-3 weeks on custom orders. When I ship a badge I will send you a tracking number in a PM and email. Badges are sent out on Monday mornings every week in a batch. For a small fee I can do rush processing.

We try our best to make the badges direct bolt-on products, but with some it is not practical to use the stock mounts. As expected installation does not require any modification, but tabs may be forgone in favor of screws or VHB Tape. Bellow is a list of models that use a different mounting system than stock:

• 12-15 Tacoma - use adhesive tape provided, may also be affixed with screws if done correctly.

Never seen this thread, how awesome...pm sent!

 

[R242]

Sent 3 messages but they're not working, always have trouble there anyways...:doh:

The 4th gen rear emblem is a 4" by 2.75" oval as outside dimensions, sitting on a flat surface(indented, but mating plane is flat). I think I like the honeycomb like on yours, instead of B design, if you can still do that.

Here is an example of a finished badge on my runner.

Are these still a possibility? Are you going to be producing any more? And can you PM me a price finished exactly like the picture?

Will the 3rd gen 4runner ones fit on a 2004 tacoma as well? Just curious

[MENTION=94545]MTD[/MENTION] Sorry if I missed it but what was the outcome on this old school TOYOTA badge? Can you do them? If so, how much? I have a Satoshi grill mod planned and might be interested. Thanks

They are able to be done in the next couple weeks, and one big enough for a Satoshi would run about 50$

Thanks. Roughly what are the dimensions of the final badge and what color would it be?

Depending on size you want and how i design it I could make anywhere from 1"X4" to 5"X20". Cost is realative to the time I put in, but if you want the 20" it may be a bit more than $50 probably +$15 or so.

How about something like this (attached) for a 4th gen? Front and rear?
