I wanted to print the logo in a separate color than the rest of the cap, so I created an insert that fits int the Tesla Logo. I also wanted to have the option to use any logo so I created a blank version as well for others to easily customize.
I also had trouble printing it with supports so I split the mount and logo plate into two separate prints which allows me to print them without support
In the first two photos I have two caps. They both are the same, fully assembled models. The one on the right however has been smoothed with acetone vapor. I think this gives it a nice polished look.
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
