    Wow, you put real effort in that. Do you need to separate paths for that or can you 3D print any random image?

      It was actually very low effort! There are a number of image to STL converters. I used this one: https://imagetostl.com/

      Like you can see it’ll flub some stuff. I would have been better off filling in the areas of text and doing the emboss manually myself, but I just wanted to hit print. 2% infill, I think it was like 2.5g of filament and 20mins.

      It’s fun to screw around with that process. I’m tweaking one of my friends cabin to use to make a mold. My goal is cast concrete or something similar so I can pound some thin copper around it, and be left with a cool wall decoration.
