3D printing equipment badge?

[skeer]

Wondering if anyones tried printing a badge/tag? I'm familiar enough to know it's possible but the thickness of an object is what I'm not sure could be replicated successfully.

I'd make that out of copper, etched like a printed circuit board.

Check out this post where @MadeByMiller shows what he did for a similar application:

Very inspirational thread! I too am very impressed with how you've set up your work space and the stuff you make in there! What a nice comment - thank you very much! I'm just doing the best I can with what I've got.

Im discovering that unless you want an old, worn out, scratched, faded real one. The only options are 'metal-esque' decals. Gross.

The copper idea is tremendous, it's been years since I looked at circuit etching, but yeah it'd be super similar to that. Have no idea how much work or cost would be involved.

I asked Clausing this morning.. they don;t have even reproductions. with Atlas on them.

Tom Utley is your man for this if you're wanting an accurate reproduction badge. In fact, he's already made several of this exact badge.

Here is his website

And here's a photo I took off of his Instagram account of one of his reproductions:

Those are hawt. And insta *****, the link to those badges actually comes up as instagram claims they are not valid. Ugh.. thanks though I’m looking at his site now.

Man I'd love to see his setup for making stuff like that. Wowzers.

-Those have fairly clean looking fonts. Most of the 3D printing I've seen has somewhat fuzzy, indistinct edges and the surface finishes are bumpy/wavy. I'm not up on printing but not very impressed with the cosmetic applications I've seen. Those badges from Tom Utley look nice.

Oh those def can’t be 3d prints…. Can they?
