Custom 3d printed badges, ornaments etc.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,640]

While this isn't a wheel horse item , I have always found the input from this forum priceless. So, as the M2 Browning gets a lot of attention online but few sales, I thought maybe some less expensive Ww2 military replicas may be in order. First period correctly detailed prototype of the classic M2 "pineapple" fragmentation grenade is complete. While tinkering around I realized that the hollow interior designed so weight could be added for heft, could also double as a great way to store about 4oz of my favorite adult beverage!

And so the WW2 M2 Fragmentation detailed replica/ alcohol flask was born! Made of food safe PLA(handwash please!) And features a spring loaded fly away spoon, and o ring gasket.

A bandolier of these and you're ready to party, enjoy a weekend reenactment, or BOTH!  Final versions will include silver gray fuse head and spoon, and hand painted versions will have period correct OD paint colored body and yellow HE stripe around the top.

I fixed that for you before she read it. I wouldn't want her to hurt ya...

 

 

 

 

And you're right. I agree with that. Smaller versions that would only be empty shells though.

Customize? Do you really? I had no idea.

Interesting this would come up for conversation as I was thinking earlier this morning I'd like to shoot the breeze with you about a hood ornament for my Ford truck.

As a kid, I was fascinated by these walkie-talkies and wanted a set so bad...never got any.

Was crushed to find out later that their range was only about a mile under good conditions and only a couple of hundred yards under poor conditions. Still, better than runners or carrier pidgeons.

I now have a set of Motorola handy-talkies that will do up to 5 miles in good conditions that my grandchildren get to play with!

If the internals go bad, I wire in something more modern. Already did this with a field telephone.

Had one of those at work with sign that said:

Subtle, but effective...

Please take a number!

[buckrancher 2,675]

did you ever get a gt14 dash and shift plate made?

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,640]

@buckrancherI think I've finally got the right settings! This one came off the printer just last night! It's been a bear getting just the right settings for a smooth finish AND getting the text to look good and adhere properly. This one I bumped the bed so the white is slightly misaligned, but another should be done when I get home. Then on to the console, the smaller text may be the challenge there.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,640]

Etsy killed the grenade flask listing, so I'm gonna have to relist that with some orange safety features. Should have new pics Monday or so.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,640]

Next dash after the gt14....d series

[cafoose 3,159]

Got a price on the GT14 dash? I've got several of those tractors I'm working on. No immediate need. I still have a lot of other projects ahead of it.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,640]

Figuring 50 for the dash and  30 for the console plate

Once all lined out, can do custom color combinations too. Red on a nickel silver is one I like, but could do black on white or ivory, or red on black white or ivory.

Still a little adjustment needed for finish

                 If it were a bit smaller that would make a great shift knob.

Very interesting you'd say that Richard...

 

What tractor is Trina restoring right now?

 

It's possible I may have a couple of extra reinforced, small scale, grenades at the house...
