2023 Porsche Badge

2023 Porsche Badge 

**Update**

I've added a PLA Silk+ Gold profile as I think it came out much better than the standard gold or yellow

I dropped the colours from 4 to 3, you lose the eye in the horse, and the overall finish is much cleaner.

Instructions are in the print profile which are slightly different to the standard PLA print.

<<<<SILK+ PLA Settings for profile>>>> 

Set the outer wall layer speed to 30mm/s

Set the top surface to 30mm/s

Optionally tune your Silk Gold to a temp of 230c, and set the flow rate from 12mm/s to 8mm/s, it adds some print time, but I thought the result was worth it

<<<< End SILK+ PLA Settings for profile>>>> 

A modern Porsche crest display plaque based on the updated 2023-style badge, with the cleaner gold shield, black Porsche lettering, Stuttgart horse, red honeycomb sections, and raised crest details brought into a printed garage-piece format. It feels more like a small automotive emblem than a normal wall tile, especially with the gold sitting as the final top layer.

The smaller version is included as a compact option, but the 0.4mm nozzle does lose some fine detail, mainly inside the Stuttgart horse. The gold top layer can be swapped to suit the look you want: silk gold, matte gold, bronze, champagne, metallic gold, or even yellow if that is what you have loaded.

Print Settings:

• 100% infill
• Sparse Infill Pattern: Rectilinear
• 0.08mm layer height
• 0.16mm initial layer
• Large profile model size: 114.75x150mm
• Large Silk profile model size: 114.75x150mm
• Small profile model size: 57.37x75mm
• Optional: You can use a height range modifier up to 0.48mm to print the solid base layers at a higher layer height, such as 0.24mm.
• The small version may lose some fine internal detail with a 0.4mm nozzle, mostly around the Stuttgart horse.

Filaments used:

• #000000 PLA BambuLab Basic Black, TD: 0.6
• #c00d1e PLA BambuLab Basic Red, TD: 4
• #e4bd68 PLA BambuLab Gold, TD: 3.4

This print uses 4 unique filaments.

The gold top layer can be swapped for another gold filament, silk gold, matte gold, metallic gold, bronze-style filament, champagne gold, or yellow if needed.

Similar filament colours may be used, including close Bambu Lab or equivalent alternatives, but results may vary depending on filament brand, colour, transparency, and calibration.

Swap Instructions:

• Start with Black
• At layer #10 (0.88mm) swap to Red 

• At layer #17 (1.44mm) swap to Gold for the rest.
