Badge holder for 3rd gen adorable motoring vehicles.

<p>The existing badge holders seem to be made for the 1st/2nd gen. So I made this 3D printable holder. It also has the nice property of not needing to remove the grill to install the holder. Steps to install:</p> <ol> <li>Buy a badge on Amazon or somesuch, should cost only about $9. Some of the badges are magnetic, but that isn't needed for this holder.</li> <li>Print the holder in PETG or ABS (PLA will probably warp over time and doesn't do well with UV). Print front<strong>up</strong> with supports on.</li> <li>Attach to grill using two quick ties. After the ties are tight rotate them so they are fully recessed in their channel.</li> <li>Apply some glue (I used Shoe-Goo) or epoxy to the front of the holder, then push the badge into the recess. Use blue tape to hold the badge until the glue dries.</li> <li>If you ever need to remove the badge, there is a slot at the bottom of the holder where you can slip in a screwdriver and turn.<br/> Standard badges should fit, I also made a few designs: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3272065">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3272065</a></li> </ol> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Automotive Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Prusa</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> <a href="http://amzn.to/2rqZ6Uo">i3 MK3</a></p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> Yes</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Hatchbox PETG or ABS</p>
