Area Representative Andrew Gilbert Posted November 11, 2020 Area Representative Share Posted November 11, 2020 if one is supplied, can we get some 3D printed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ford Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Gary,What perfect timing.I have been in the loft today sorting through my surplus C7 stuff which I will shortly be advertising. In one of the boxes was the badge you are looking for. It had been in the loft for the last eight/nine years and, unsurprisingly (lol), dates from 1997. You are very welcome to have it. As these badges appear to be no longer available, Andrew's suggestion of 3D printing would seem to be good idea (although I don't know how one would successfully do the green & yellow paint or the chrome edging). I searched for 3D printing services locally without success, perhaps there are some in your area Gary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1WEL Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Hi DavidThanks David, perfect. Is that the badge off the HPC?I'll see if i can get some 3D printedDo you still have my address, or do you want me to PM?Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ford Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Hi Gary,Yes, it is the original badge (which I removed 8/9 years ago and put somewhere safe where it remained until I found it today).It would be great if you are able to have other badges 3D printed from it before re-affixing to the HPC. I have your address and will post it early next week.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L66TEY Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 If it helps I've got a source for the 3D Printing, albeit a CAD model would need to be created from the original part. The CAD modelling could be created by someone with a Scanner, if not I could help with modelling the part by taking dimensions from the original.

Norman Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Hi Gary, looks like you already have this sorted, but I have a good condition one of these that I'm about to remove from my car this weekend. Let me see if I can attach an image... (I remember it being not a simple process on the forum) I could make use of a 3D scanning contact, which seems like a wise idea, as you say given that these badges are no longer available.

Tazio Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 They do come up on ebay occasionally, I bagged a couple, but that nice Mr Wrightpayne of this parish had one scanned at a vinyl printer type place and had some made for me in vinyl, and even colour matched the highlights on the car.

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted November 14, 2020 Area Representative Share Posted November 14, 2020 Nope! Can't upload photo direct from phone it seems.Yes, you can. On Android you need to select "Desktop Site" and the Upload button is second from the right (or more likely in the bottom row of the three).From my handset a random WhatsApp image:- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1WEL Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 Thanks David, the badge arrived today. I’ll see if I can get some 3D printed before I re-unite the badge with the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
