Summary

This is a faux entry for the Knox3DP / Knox Makers 3D logo design contest for KnoxDevs. Not really an entry, just for fun.

Post-Printing

Wear it

            <div><p>Really? You printed it? Kewl beanz. Wear it! Add a string or necklace, I guess.</p></div>                <p class="detail-title"><strong>Selfie</strong></p>            <div><p>If you actually printed this and turned it into a necklace, I fully expect a picture to be posted.</p></div>

How I Designed This

EPS >> high res PNG >> Inkscape >> Trace bitmap >> Remove fill >> 1px stroke width only >> save as SVG

            <div><p>Took the EPS provided of the logo and converted to high res PNG (~5k x 5k pixels).</p><p>Used Trace Bitmap in Inkscape, removed the fill color, and added a plain black stroke width of 1 px.</p><p>Saved as SVG.</p></div>                <p class="detail-title"><strong>Wikimedia commons image of a 3.5 floppy >> ungroup >> save individual items as separate SVGs</strong></p>            <div><p>Ran a filetype:svg Google search for floppy disks, found a Wikimedia Commons image.</p><p>Image source: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/db/3_5_floppy_diskette.svg">https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/db/3_5_floppy_diskette.svg</a></p><p>Imported the SVG into Inkscape.</p><p>Removed all fill, made everything plain black 1 px width stroke.</p><p>Ungrouped everything.</p><p>Saved each graphic element as different SVGs.</p></div>                <p class="detail-title"><strong>import SVGs into your fave 3d modeling software</strong></p>            <div><p>Assemble, change x/y/z axis dimensions.</p><p>Used some elements as negative space to create holes or imprints.</p><p>Export as STL, upload here.</p><p>I cheated and used TinkerCAD but you get the idea.</p></div>
