VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 1929 Logo & 3D Printing

was tinkering around last night while tweaking my oil line bracket.

I digitized the 1929 Chevrolet Logo off my car and exported it for 3d Printing.Loaded it up in the Printer Loaded in some PLA and let it rip...

Actually Came out pretty good. All i had was black, so will need to tinker with some paint and see how it comes out.

Just thought I would share, Love Technology and These Old Chevrolets, so combine them when i Can !!

Very cool!

As for paint, I used Apple Berry Gloss 20353 Real Navy blue acrylic paint to touch up the radiator emblem on my '28. The cloisonne had a few chunks missing, so I used the tip of a toothpick to 'dab' some paint into those spots.

Attached is a pic. If you zoom in, you can see the repaired blue on the emblem.

Awesome, thanks for the color numbers, i hope to get it cleaned up and painted, or maybe make a few mods/ changes and then print a new one

You're welcome! BTW, I bought the paint at the local Michael's craft store.

Cheers, Dean

LMAO that is where I was headed to get some paint, was going to look at some Testors as well, good ole model paint :)

ok, know it has been a while, but i broke out the 3d printer and have been running it 24 hours a day printing face shield brackets for the local makerspace that is doing them for local hospitals and medical facilities.

i found my log that i did a while back and decided to paint it up....

first a layer of white....

then the dark blue around "CHEVROLET"

then the blue in the ribs...

gonna see if i have any gray or silver around to trim up the black so it looks like the emblem on the car... worst case i can mix some black and white to make my own gray :)

see how the works

Very nice! I can see scaling them up for wall art.

Thanks

lol, my limit is approx 6"x6"x5"

this one is about 5.25"

came out nice, and the coloring makes it stand out !!

Friday spent the evening finishing up my 3d Printed 1+929 Chevrolet Logo.

used a gray i had laying around to do the raised section to make it look more like the emblem on the car. then after it dried saturday morning went back and touched up the paint all around.

have to say that is came out pretty good. i am happy with it. 

Very nice.....

Thanks Chip :) think i am going to use some double sided tape and put it up somewhere, and print another 1 or 2 for work. then paint em up now that i have my color scheme down.

Very cool thanks for sharing.
