3D printed Badlands Badge - fun post

[Hokie1991]

Hey this is just a fun post, have a 22 BSBL on order Feb 3rd on the Ford tracker, ordered mid September, Cyber orange.

My 15 yr old son built this model file (5 hours to make) and printed the part in 3 colors.

The resin is PLA, makes a great decoration and looks very cool!
Also he’s very excited to get to drive the car, he’s got a permit per MI driving system.

This got moved to "exterior Mods" but just to be clear this is not for mounting to vehicle, more like a decoration. Size is about 7.5" by about 5.5" by about 5/116 thick

Very cool. Put that boy to work; he could make himself some money and buy his very own Badlands!

He has2 done working on a 3rd. Its a 5 hour print with 2 resin changes so a little manual process

The machine is a Prusa Mini, from Chech Republic I think.
Original Prusa MINI+ | Original Prusa 3D printers directly from Josef Prusa

For resin he uses PLA from Matterhackers. It seems to be reasonably priced and performs well.

That came out great!

Any chance you could post the .stl file. Would love to print one on my printer.

Two of the most popular manufacturers are Creality and Prusa. Creality makes budget friendly printers that require more fine tuning and maintenance while Prusa costs more but produces quality prints more consistently with less work. If you can afford a Prusa, I'd recommend going that route.

I love tinkering but I'm beginning to seriously eye a Prusa printer to replace my Creality Ender 3 Pro. My Ender is fine, but trying to dial it in from "decent" to "excellent" is such a huge pain. And I have to do it every time I change filaments. Especially if I'm printing in anything that isn't PLA. But boy have I learned a shit ton about printers!
