Espotek Labrador logo

The Labrador is a versatile electronic toolset designed for hobbyists and students, featuring an o-scope, signal generator, power supply, logic analyzer, and more. It can be housed in a modified "secret compartment box" created by Muzz64 on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/make:715420. To personalize the design, I added a Labrador dog icon to the top of the case, possibly due to my increasing forgetfulness. Chris Esposito, Espotek's founder and developer of the Labrador, kindly provided me with the original logo image from GitHub: https://github.com/EspoTek/Labrador/blob/master/PCB/labralogo.pretty/logo_edit.png. I've included a scaled-down version of the image in the files above for anyone who wishes to replicate my design without experiencing the same issues I faced. The original image is 1157x1118 pixels and generated a massive .stl file over 700MB, which none of my computers could slice. I resized it to 300x290 pixels, resulting in a still-large 50MB .stl file that OpenSCAD exported. After importing the file into Slic3r, several errors were repaired, and a 16MB file was saved. If I had to redo it, I'd likely size it down to around 100 pixels. The printed Labrador measures about 76x80mm and is 3mm thick. For my box, I scaled it down to 45mm and printed it in PLA with standard settings, securing it to the lid with a couple of drops of glue.
