Try tom rethink RX-7 badge

[Kriss]

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

Can you make them out of a clear plastic ?

[Macer]

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...

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

[mart]

Mine is identical to the first pic you have in blue but without the \'infini\' !
 
Available in polished S/S for anyone interested

[wolfie1]

how much as a matter of interest?

[Kriss]

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...

[Macer]

Looking good :Thumbs-up

Look forward to seeing them painted and fitted.
