The rough nature of printed parts pushed me to a waterjet for the Karmann Eclectric emblems.
Karmann Eclectric: Taking a shine to that name.
Nice job on the Karmann!

At this point the technology isn't quite there yet for smooth parts for my emblems. I'm going to have these chrome plated as-is since the nickel plating is already on them for the chromium to adhere to. When the technology improves, I'll use the same CAD models to get new ones made.
