Ecoboost engine cover emblem prototype

[papinist]

I like the "50 years" Looks very OEM. ;)

Agreed, it's the best looking so far.

Don't know if it would look cool, but could you try something with the US-flagged pony in my signature and the text "MADE IN THE U.S.A."?

I've got the design finished and have started making them.

Open to ideas for designs that people might be interested in.

A little off topic, but what 3d printer do you use? I have a couple and have had some issues so Haven't messed with them outside of the week I got them. They're kinda a pita.

I have a Robo3D R1+.
Also just got finished assembling my "Beast" it has a 18x18x30 build area.
It is a lot of work and maintenance. I've had to replace a lot of parts but I have also printed a ton of stuff.

The OEM engine cover definitely needed something. The "50 years" badge is that something. Should have come from the factory like this. Nice work Matt.

Looks good.
Did you paint your brake fluid reservoir? Blends in nicely.

Yup, urban plasti dip...did coolant tank too.

I really like that 50 years emblem. What pricing are these going for?

What do you use to adhere the emblem to the engine cover? Have had mine since last Fall. Finally got the cover on the engine and now need to add the emblem.

Speaking to a neophyte here...got a brand I can look for?

3M super spray adhesive. Home depot has it. Any of the 3M spray adhesive will work good or rubber cement.

I think its DAP. I'll check when I get home. Contact cement is the way to go. Spray adhesive just like spray paint is gonna go everywhere if you don't have things masked off. Home Depot has it.
