Hello guys!
I\'ve saw around that someone uses RX-8 amd CX-7 original badges to create a sort of new logo for the FD.
So I think to go further on this: I\'ve also tried to reimagine the efini logo, put everything in a 3D rendering software and send it to be printed in 3D.
That\'s the result:

In the next days I\'ll go with the paint and update the thread.
I\'ve made other style too... These are the 3D rendering:

I\'ve tried to make the classic one too:

If the result is good I think to begin to sell them :D
Can you make them out of a clear plastic ?
These look good :Thumbs-up

I make them on Shapeways.com, they have a lot of materials, and also a clear plastic, a bit frosted... :)
http://www.shapeways.com/materials/frosted_detail (http://www.shapeways.com/materials/frosted_detail)
I choose to make the prototype in Alumide, a mix of plastic and aluminum powder, that make it stronger.
Frosted plastic might be ideal - was thinking of backlighting in EL sheet or with flat chip leds... ;)
The older squarer logo is the same as on the back of the FC - the other bit says Mazda.
Thats awesome man, well impressed. I\'ve dabbled in 3D work so I might look into this as well.
Just looked into 3D printers too, what can I say, its impressive stuff.
That looks very cool :)
I sport one of those!.
Hey guys it might be mine youve seen i mocked up the design and had it laser cut from polished stainless about 3 yrs ago, i cant show you pics because im just a guest on here. It was on my list to have more cut for sale, however ive been that busy with the other products i produce for the FD these havent been done yet. If enough interest can soon have them cut.

Hi Mart
I can ssure you is not a mock up of your work, I\'ve taken the logos og the RX-8 nd CX-7 from the web, and design the efini badge by myself, all with Rhinoceros, wioth 3d printing in mind...
My plans are to do them in plastic, so they can be painted even in chrome finish.
i reckons i would want 1 of these price dependant
Mine is identical to the first pic you have in blue but without the \'infini\' !
Available in polished S/S for anyone interested
mart.rob@hotmail.co.uk (mart.rob@hotmail.co.uk)
how much as a matter of interest?
Another project: efini wheel center caps

the cap and the emblem are detachable, with centering pins, to be sprayed separately

I\'m going to paint everyhing, the badge and the center caps, and post results.
I\'m thinking of selling this: directly from Shapeways for people who want to paint them by themself or from me with painting service... :D
Looking good :Thumbs-up
Look forward to seeing them painted and fitted.
Very nice - :Giggle
I like it too. i hope it coms in produktion:Giggle
The rx7 logo i mean.
Wouldn\'t the RX7/efini logo\'s make great t shirts too ??
How much u sellin them for i have 1 now if not too expensive
Here\'s the pics of finished prototype, painted with silver and efini script filled with black enamel:

Need some refinish and definitly not to be done in that material, too hard to smmoth it well... Fortunately, there\'s another plastic, very smooth, that can be used.
Here\'s the center caps too, simbles painted with AlcladII Chrome:

Surface is smoothed with 2500 wet sandpaper, but with a 3000 or a polishing paste would be even better.
I think I\'ll put the RX-7 Efini logo on sale at 20-25€ directly from site (unpainted), to have it painted (you choos color) from 40 to 50€ depends on colours.
Could you do the classic one in red? It was in red on \'93 Jap Black FDs
Thanks

There\'s a red plastic in the available material, but the finish is grainy.
Better to take the with polished one and then paint it up... :D
