Step 2 Logo

thingiverse

I bought my son a Step 2 Deluxe Art Master Desk from a thrift store, and he loves it! The only thing he didn't like was the colors of the plastic parts. Being the awesome DIY daddy that I am, I painted the different parts blue and green - his favorite colors. When I went to remove the step 2 emblem, I found that it was just a thick cardboard type of material, and it ripped off. So, I could replace it with a similar piece of printed card stock, or I could open tinkercad and try to recreate the logo and print it off. That's exactly what I did. After several revisions, I got a result that I liked. I chose to print using two different colors, so I told Cura when to pause, and then changed the filament from red to white. I designed the file to have a small disc print as well. This way, when I changed the color, the inevitable blob of extruded filament would lodge into that disc. It worked pretty well. I super glued it onto the desk, and I hope the glue dries less blotchy, but oh well. It might have been better to use a less translucent red or hit the back with some red spraypaint. If you decide to make this, here are some tips: So, if you're repainting any step 2 product and want to replace the logo, just go for it! Feel free to print in any color or combination you like! If you make this, would you please post a make? This is my very first uploaded design, and it would be cool to see your make! Thanks, -Jake
