Custom 3d printed badges, ornaments etc.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

I recently began pondering what all i could 3d print to dress up a horse. I'm pretty good with deaign sofware and came up with a couple small items to start, and figured i can easily print things like headlight covers, hood ornaments, and badges of all sorts.Then I wondered if maybe rather than a decal if i 3d printed an embossed plate or sorts with the appropriate graphics in 3d. These could be enamel painted, or printed in a silver that would give a brushed nickel type of finish.

Here's a couple photos of what ive created thus far in some gray test material. Please let me know what ya think.

  @Wheel Horse 3Dthat looks pretty good, what do you think cost would be? You could probably find a market here with items like that

I have something similar on a tractor

Costl really depend on the individual piece, but id say a smaller silver badge like the one pictured would be less than 20. If i send them plain and you prime and paint it could be even less.

Here's one I got that's made out of wood

Of you could make one similar to the wooden one, I'd be interested. 

I would even be interested in more than just one

I don't see why I couldn't. I'd have to find an example to model from. Id have to print it in a couple seperate pieces and have them snap or weld together.

I think that would be relatively easy to model. I sent you an email for the details. Dimensions etc.

I had a C100 with snow blade and no deck a great little Horse, but alas, I had to find her a new home.

A veteran buddy bought her and has gone full on Hose crazy. Im an electronics technician, and mechanics isnt my skillset but they are great tractors.

Thank you! Next is to model some decal replace ment options. Like a raised version of the model number decal on a b100

 @Wheel Horse 3D What kind of printer are you using?  I am considering the purchase of a 3d printer probably 2nd quarter this year.  Currently, I am looking at a Prusa.

 

Also, what kind of design and slicer software are you using?

 

Welcome to the forum.

That would be interesting. 

What level of thickness are we talking?
