A friend of mine asked me to see if I could print out a replacement logo that goes on the head of his guitar. The original logo was melted by a candle. I grabbed a high resolution copy of the logo and used software called Inkscape to trace the bitmap and generate a path. I then saved the file as an SVG and then imported it into 123d Design. It needed a little bit of tidying up and adjustments to resize it to scale.

I need to fine tune the settings to get the right amount of squish between the layers but for now here’s the first prototype.

Here’s the printed logo laid against the original to get a sense for scale. It was about 5cm wide printed at 0.2mm with 1.75mm ABS filament. You’ll notice some gaps in the letter f, e and r which the right infil settings will probably fix.
