Published material guidance; still check heat, UV, load, and printer compatibility.
A planning starting point only; wall count, orientation, and geometry often matter more than infill.
Choose the needed variant, then slice it for grams, cost, and print time.
Saved setup guidance is used for material, infill, support, and per-file recommendation text; editable numbers are planning estimates only.

3DPrintedCarPartDescription
I designed a "BMW MOTORSPORT" badge for an BMW E30 grille. Normally there is the M3 or the M-TECHNIC badge, but an BMW MOTORSPORT badge is cool, too. You need to print the badge and the holder. Make sure to print the same size, otherwise it won´t fit anymore. Raft is very important to prevent warping. Also you need a little screw to screw them together. After a little bit of sanding, i sprayed a filler on it, so that the printing texture isn`t visible anymore. Then i sprayed it black. I painted the letters with an touch-up applicator, but you can use all kind of paint (make sure it is UV resistent). For perfect finish, i put some clearcoat on it. The support inside the screw-hole must be drilled out. The two pins on the back prevent the badge from rotating, so it stays horizontally. I printed and tested it many times, so it should fit perfectly. If you like my project, i would be pleased about a little donation:) Paypal: https://paypal.me/ClaudiusGraeml?country.x=DE&locale.x=de_DE
