Mid7night surprised me with these and I must say, they're really awesome.

I think I'll use a few as zipper-pulls for the backpack I take to gaming conventions. I'm not sure how well the plastic will hold up in the long run, but it seems strong enough to be useful for a while, at least. (What's the point of having these if you don't use em, right?)

The big tag will find a place on my next PAX lanyard. :)

Thanks (reply)

I'd be happy to help with your custom Nerf needs, just let me know. ;)

Cool as always sir. (reply)

May have to contact you about this kinda stuff in the future. Definitely want to make some augments for some nerf guns, and me not know how 3d work.

THAT; I'll take. :D (reply)

I was reading you as Yogurt showing off the Spaceballs merchandising.

I didn't sound like THAT much a salesman...did I?... (reply)

Cool stuff Mid7night. :)

Your own 3D Printed DBO...

Yup, it's exactly like it sounds! Ok, maybe not exactly, but I guess that depends on what you pictured... anyway...

Today I surprised Duncan with a preview of some trinkets I whipped up based on the DBO logo, so before I talk too much further, here's the fun part:

(click to embiggen)

Now for the details.

Modeling: I basically extruded the DBO logo in AC3D, added a base-backing and modeled an attachment tab. I envisioned the smaller ones being used as zipper pull-tabs and the large one as a luggage ID tag, but I'm sure you all can come up with other applications. :)

Production: Upload to Shapeways. Order. Wait for delivery. ENJOY!

I realize no one asked for these, and they're not exactly as universal as a T-shirt, but I thought they'd be fun. :)

The parts pictured were actually the very first run, I had them shipped direct to Duncan, which gives you an idea of my faith in Shapeways and their penchant for first-time quality.

Want your own? I'm glad you asked! Below are links to the different sizes and bundles.

NOTE! You can get these in a variety of plastic colors, so check that out on the product page.

There are also METAL versions, which should be AWESOME! (I'll be ordering some metal ones for myself soon)
