Hey,
I've been doing a Track and Field cocktail scratch build. One detail I'd like to have is the raised Centuri badge that's attached to the coin door. Because I bought a new coin door, I don't have said badge.
I thought maybe I'd try my hand at making a reproduction because I don't see anyone selling these. My current plan is to make a model and make use of the 3d printer we have at work to see how close I can get with that and some paint.
So far, I've taken some images other people have posted and I traced over the images with nodes and lines to make a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) version. It was a huge PITA, but it looks nice so far (I still have to add the registered trademark R).
Next, I'm going to import the image into TinkerCAD or some other suitable program and make it three-dimensional.
Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen one of these in person, so I'm not sure how much the letters need to be raised up. If someone would be willing to share that information with me, that'd be great.
While I'm designing this to fit my coin door, if you could post some other measurements, like just take a picture with a ruler or something, I will also try to make a true-to-original CAD drawing too.
