 |
|
I took a few minutes this morning to draw the vw symbol in CADD. IF any of you guys are makers and have a 3D printer I can send you the STL file for you to print one. I tried to get as close to specs as possible.

note that some dimensions are not on center lines as indicated by the OG drawing. Do you know how you know how to use CADD? DO you have a 3-D printer to print your own cool vw symbol. Return with real criticism when you have some prior knowledge.

Left side of the "V" looks too thick.
But keep it up... having a model makes it possible to 3-D print stuff using it. |

A 3D printer would actually be the slowest, most expensive and least desirable method of popping a few of these out.
Take it to any of several thousand graphic display houses around the US that have one of these or one of several other brands and they can do it from aluminum or plastic for cheap from CAD.
60,000 rpm aircooled router attachment with fiber optic vision system, pulls 2-g's on corner turns and can hold .0004" tolerance. Hundreds of cutter tools including a fiber optic Co2 laser.

By the way...DiBond is a sandwich of aluminum and UHMW polyethylene in the center. Tough as nails. This can rout it like butter.

I applaud the effort-
but yeah, it looks a bit "off." I agree the left stem of the V is too wide, also there should be no difference in angle between the V stems and the W stems- they are parallel. 54° vs 48° is not correct.
Just a bit of tweaking it should be fine.
