I just de-badged my leaf because I think it looks so much cleaner, and I'm stuck with the existing blue nissan badges on the front and back of the vehicle. My original plan was to buy silver badges from ebay that are chrome, but I really would rather incorporate the new nissan logo because it looks a lot better.
For kicks I modeled this in Rhino, and I've started a 3d print on our in-house printer. Unfortunately our FDM printer really doesn't have the quality I need, so I thought I'd post here in case somebody works at a place that has access to a better quality print (or even better direct metal sintering). I'm fine sharing the 3d files in 3dm, STL or whatever format you might need.
Regardless I can upload my progress if any of you are interested. I put in a 0.4mm nozzle and I'm hoping for the best print I can muster. Then I can hand finish with a little sandpaper, polish/buffing. I'd love to chrome this, but don't know anybody that can metallize a plastic print.
