Jumping on the 3D printer bandwagon
I've been researching 3D printers for quite a while now, and last week I finally broke down and ordered the Prusa i3 MK3S kit. If I had to do it over, I'd pay the extra $250 to get the fully-assembled unit, cuz putting this bish together was a pain in the donkey. https://images2.imgbox.com/70/16/qnl6m6ep_o.jpg
All the stuff to be assembled

Full disclosure, it did come with one of the most well-thought out color manuals that I've ever seen, but the sheer tedium of having to assemble EVERYFREAKINGTHING was mind-numbing.

Here's my first test print. It turned out decent, but as you can tell by the stringy back, I didn't have the offset adjusted correctly

Once it was dialed in, it was time to print something practical https://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum...es/biggrin.gif

It ended up smaller than I imagined...and if I had a nickel for every time I heard that..

So I've been experimenting with my logo, trying to get it dialed in. I want to be able make something resembling a car emblem

I tried doing an open-web design, but needed a bridge to keep the letters in place. I tried painting the bridge but it turned out looking like week-old ass

Next, I tried just expanding the background, which turned out really nice. I als tried a color change mid-print, which I think turned out cool. I just need more colors

Man, that second logo attempt with the color change is bad to the bone, brother!
Re: Jumping on the 3D printer bandwagon
Diggin the one with the orange surround!!! Maybe not orange, but the pattern is awesome!
