Stop me if this isnt allowed, but i had an idea. I 3d print car badges and other things for sale (https://imgur.com/a/ZXwb692)a lot and thought i could expand out a bit to other people. i am already working on some 2A related ones (https://imgur.com/a/GQntuZ6)

would there be any interest in CCGF logos on things like magnets, plaques, badges, ammo boxes, gun parts (i can print grips, stocks, braces...go google crtl+pew and see some of the amazing things that can be 3d printed)?

size, complexity of design and external parts (magnets, inserts, etc) will affect price but if a lot of people want the same thing over and over, i can speed up production and reduce cost a bit based on volume

For instance, currently i am printing the orange 22LR boxes in the link above customized with people's names for $15 a piece (7 hours to print each one, modeling the names onto the boxes, about $4 in materials)

i like money and making people happy, so hit me with some ideas. or drag me through the mud. should be fun either way

not much response here yet, but getting a few likes. I will mock up the CCGF logo and see if that sparks some more interest. If anyone has a high resolution (preferably vector) image of it, that would make my life easier as well.

I got that, PM me an email address and I'll send it over. Do you do printing for individuals? I have some personal stuff I'd like to get printed at some point.

I have been chatting with Chenzzo and didn't want you all to feel left out!

Currently mocked up a magnet (https://imgur.com/a/49q5PSy) so far and am open to more ideas.

Would you use a 3d printed morale patch with velcro on the back?
Would you want 1911 grips with CCGF (the 4 letters arranged in a square) embossed on the sides? other grips are possible, but harder to print based on the profiling. I have messed up about 4 pairs of CZ grips so far...
do you like dickbutts as much as i do? ill make you some dickbutt rail covers, IDK!
