A logo in three dimensions
Letters and marks printed in solid-colour ASA, on standoffs, for a stand wall or a reception desk.
The problem
A business wants its logo as a physical object for the stand. The sign shop has a minimum order and a three-week lead time, and for a single piece it is rarely worth it.
The fix
I need the logo as a vector file — SVG, EPS or PDF. A JPEG pulled off the website goes ragged the moment it is 40 cm wide. The letters are printed in ASA, which does not yellow in sunlight the way ABS does, and the colour runs all the way through, so a knock on an edge is not a white mark. Large marks are split into sections and bonded with locating pins and a 0.15 mm glue gap, with the seam put where the artwork already has an edge.
Mounting is standoffs on the back, either with threads printed straight into the plastic or A4 studs bonded in. Brass inserts are fine indoors and a poor idea outside. Lead time is days rather than weeks, and a change of size or colour costs nothing but print time. I only make marks on the instruction of whoever owns them.
I only make marks on the instruction of whoever owns them, and I ask for written confirmation that you have the right to use the mark before starting.
More ideas
A hook guard that actually stays on
A soft TPU clip that snaps over treble hooks and jigs so they stop catching nets, clothing and fingers.
A rod holder that fits your rail
A parametric holder printed for the exact tube diameter your boat has — not a standard no boat actually follows.
Gear tags for nets and pots that last
Name, phone number and registration embossed into the tag itself — not written in marker that vanishes in three weeks.
