914-6 emblem, 20mm tall


Rendering of 914-RS (30mm tall)

Posted by: Rleog Aug 2 2017, 06:10 PM

Nicely done. You have winners here.

A comparison of chamfered edges and non chamfered edges (going to remake the chamfered one here in sample pic, a little too aggressive, really notice on the period)

Posted by: Mueller Aug 23 2017, 12:49 PM

I know, the 914-8 looks bent, odd looking picture

Posted by: RJMII Aug 31 2017, 09:41 PM

oh, wow! These are really looking good!!! Thank you for taking them to the next level, they're looking great. :-)

I have been looking for something like these items for years. BEHOLD! Available right under my nose.

Mike, sending an email regarding what i want. Need 914-6, 3.2, Carrera.

Knowing the supplier, these will be "first caliber plus"

Posted by: lambomiura Oct 20 2017, 11:25 AM

Great work! I might need something similar eventually, like 914 RS or 914 GT.

Posted by: Mueller Oct 20 2017, 02:16 PM

Did a "large" version of 914-RS last night.

stock is 20mm, this one is 30mm, I still need to deburr this one and clean it up some.

Posted by: Cracker Oct 21 2017, 05:46 AM

Very nicely done...will you kindly make a 914-RS emblem to replace the stock rear unit I have (size wise) please?

Tony

Would like a 914-6 non Cham regular size. Pm sent

Posted by: 914Toy Dec 18 2017, 09:23 PM

Sent you a PM.

Posted by: Cracker Dec 18 2017, 09:50 PM

Are you still actively making these Mike?

Tony

Posted by: Mueller Dec 18 2017, 11:32 PM

Yes I am , sorry for not looking at the thread like I should!

I will get your 914-RS done this week and send you a picture for your approval.

I put these in my tumbler, I think I like the satin look a tad bit more than polished myself.

Posted by: Cracker Dec 19 2017, 06:32 AM

Mike,

Thank you Sir! I will wear your emblem with pride...I want an additional number though as well please. Please advise if this is possible. I also would like a slightly larger chamfer to the edges/radius if possible. I will gladly pay for the hassle...

914-RS with the smaller subset of 7.0 (just like you are displaying the 2.0 examples above).

Tony

Posted by: Mueller Dec 19 2017, 11:09 AM

No extra charge for the drawing/programming, I do most of that while enjoying daughter/daddy TV time watching the shows we like that the wife wants no part of. (pretty much anything SciFi)

Posted by: Niklas Dec 20 2017, 03:57 PM

I need an emblem for my 912-6 from 1967.
Can you make it in the same height as än 911 emblem?
Can you send it to Sweden ?

Regards

Niklas Ekström

Posted by: Mueller Dec 20 2017, 04:15 PM

Yes to all the above. I will send you a PM later in evening.

Posted by: TJB/914 Dec 23 2017, 06:51 PM

Mueller,

Really great stuff, I wish I thought of this earlier for a Christmas Tree orniment.

Wondering?
Can you do a one off special emblem like - 911-RS -?? It would be for a good Porsche friend doing his original owner 1964 911-S into a 911-RS clone. Let me know if you can do a special one with an approx. cost $_____?

Merry Christmas to you and family and blessing for good health in 2018

Tom

Posted by: Mblizzard Dec 23 2017, 08:20 PM

Was lucky and got a set of these. Amazing look and well done. Very worth while.

Posted by: gothspeed Dec 24 2017, 03:02 PM

Is it possible to be machined out of black plastic sheet?

Posted by: Mueller Dec 24 2017, 03:48 PM

Like delrin? I see why not, let me see if I have any scrap pieces to practice on.

Posted by: shoguneagle Dec 27 2017, 10:46 PM

Just wondering how the emblems are coming. Whenever you have had the time. Work looks great

Steve

Posted by: Mueller Jan 10 2018, 09:00 AM

Hi Steve,

Sorry for taking so long, here is a picture of your stuff.

Posted by: shoguneagle Jan 10 2018, 03:12 PM

Looks like exactly what I had in mind. Need to know how you want funds and do you need my address?

Thanks, Mike,; does reflect your many professional level talents.

Steve

Posted by: Mueller Jan 10 2018, 11:12 PM

Hi Tom,

A little tease, will finish it tomorrow night, just need to cut it out and deburr.

Posted by: TJB/914 Jan 11 2018, 06:37 AM

Mike,
Perfect, I like
Tom

Posted by: Mueller Jan 17 2018, 12:02 AM

Came out pretty good for a taildragger

Posted by: Coondog Jan 17 2018, 07:25 PM

Finally got around to putting this on. Looks great, Thank you

Posted by: TJB/914 Jan 21 2018, 09:24 PM

Mike,
Perfect & I really like the size.
Your machining skills are great & the price was reasonable for a custom emblem.
BTW: What kind of material was used on the emblem??
Tom

Thanks for the kind words.

Best information I could find online is that it is 6061....a fellow member had his emblem black anodized and it came out nice.

I hope your friend likes it.

Posted by: Mueller Feb 20 2018, 02:01 PM

Proposed design for Niklas,

You can ignore the 912-4 , I had that in my mind while programming then came back to this thread to see my mistake.

Posted by: Niklas Feb 21 2018, 02:32 AM

Perfect! I take 2 pcs of 912-6


Niklas

Damn, that long ago? All done, will package it up tonight.

Glad I don't do this for a living, I'd be starving to death.

Posted by: ClayPerrine Jun 25 2018, 05:01 PM

How much to make a stock looking one that says "4.0"?

Posted by: Mueller Jun 25 2018, 06:14 PM

$20 plus shipping, you have a PM, thanks Mike

Posted by: Mblizzard Jun 25 2018, 06:33 PM

Love my 2.1! Should update to 2.3 but I figured people would see the point when they can’t catch me.

Posted by: drem914 Jun 25 2018, 07:11 PM

Are you running any engine size emblems in the near future. I need one for a "2.2" engine. Thanks.

Posted by: drem914 Jun 25 2018, 07:15 PM

Did you ever follow up on black plastic version for those of us wiith later model emblems?

Posted by: Chris H. Jun 29 2018, 08:04 PM

I'd say stick with the aluminum and just paint it satin black. I just painted mine today. You'd have to look pretty close to know it wasn't the stock badge...except mine says 3.3 on it. Will post pics after I hit it with one more coat and it dries.

Posted by: Chris H. Jul 4 2018, 08:59 AM

Here it is. Top one is plastic, bottom is aluminum.



It's harder than it looks to get a good pic! Although the 3.3 looks larger it's in the same scale as the other badge. Just the angle of the photo I guess.

These are very nice quality. I would pay 2X what Mike is charging.

Posted by: drem914 Jul 4 2018, 09:33 AM

Glad to hear it. I will just paint them as part of my car repaint, going on right now.

Posted by: seanery Sep 19 2018, 09:41 AM

These look great, Mike!!

Posted by: ValcoOscar Oct 12 2018, 04:11 PM

Hey Mike-

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=87

If you can, I need the following. ALL with chamfers.

PM total $ so I can PayPal

2 X 914-GT

1 X 2.7

2 X 3.4

1 X 914-8

1 X 5.7

Thanks as always...hope we meet up again soon. Always fun hanging out with you.

Oscar

Posted by: DickSteinkamp Oct 16 2018, 09:27 PM

Thanks, Mike, for the 914-8 emblem.

It looked great in brushed aluminum and maybe even better after I had it chrome plated to match the letters on the engine lid and bumpers.




Thanks also for you you do for us teeners!

-Dick-

Posted by: Mueller Oct 17 2018, 08:30 AM

That came out nice!

Posted by: Cracker Oct 17 2018, 09:01 AM

Is there a "secret handshake" I need to know?


PS: These continue to look great...just slightly envious!

Tony

Posted by: Mueller Oct 17 2018, 11:55 AM

I didn't like the chamfers on your emblems so I am going to make another set this week.

Posted by: Steve Oct 19 2018, 10:42 AM

Curious how do you mount these? Are there tabs like stock or double sticky tape?

Posted by: ValcoOscar Oct 19 2018, 10:48 AM

His are bare so double sticky tape, but you can add studs if you have to...to much work IMHO. Visually, sticky tape is undetectable. I like mine!!!

Oscar

Posted by: Mueller Nov 7 2018, 03:08 PM

After I don't know know how many months I finally have Tonys emblems done.



And a 2.3 for another 914World member

Posted by: Cracker Nov 7 2018, 04:19 PM

Thanks Mike!

Tony

Posted by: HansJan Nov 16 2018, 07:52 PM

Thanks for doing this.

Posted by: Mueller Nov 17 2018, 12:27 PM

That 2.3 should confuse a few people

Look good, thanks.

Posted by: Mueller Dec 4 2018, 09:19 AM

Finally have Oscars done. Does he really have that many cars?

Another 914 owner with a /6


To be honest, not sure if the 2.2 is a /4 or a /6....going to Europe

Hi, can you make me a 2.2? What would be the cost with shipping to the UK. Thanks.

Posted by: Mueller Dec 14 2018, 05:09 PM

Hi Matt, that 2.2 is yours... I thought I PM'd you however I might have forgot.

Posted by: DickSteinkamp Dec 15 2018, 01:27 PM

Here's one of Mike's emblems chrome plated to match the PORSCHE letters on the engine lid...

Posted by: Mueller Dec 18 2018, 12:49 AM

Wow, looks great in chrome.


Made these holders with my little laser cutter. I use to put emblem in plastic bag and put in box for mailing.

I have tried to PM you?

Can I please order a 914 GT badge in silver (Standard trunk size)

It will be shipping to the UK.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Dec 29 2021, 06:02 AM

Hey Mike,

Still making these?

Posted by: speed metal army Oct 4 2022, 09:41 AM

Let me look, I might have one at home.

I have 2 in stock, will PM you.

Mike

Posted by: Mueller Jun 7 2023, 07:45 AM

Short update for anyone that cares,

The emblems have been a love/loathe project for me for sometime.

My current mill is or was not ideally set up for such a small part. Spindle speed too slow (takes a long time to cut even a small emblem), no flood coolant (required me to stand there and blow chips off part to as not clog things up and break a cutter) plus a few other little things here and there.

Like many others I would cheap out on machinery or tooling and it has been getting me depressed and frustrated for a while. I wouldn't want to go out in the garage to work on my own projects or work on something for someone else.

Finally I had a talk with the wife (and kids) and we've come to the conclusion that I need to invest a little in the home shop. It was a hard sell at 1st with the wife but in the end I think it will be better for me mentally and emotionally and if I can make a few dollars back, financially

Basically this is my public apology for anyone interested in an emblem and I have let you down by not getting back to you or delivering (for the record I have never received funds and not delivered a part)

Posted by: rhodyguy Jun 7 2023, 10:06 AM

A great post Mike.

Posted by: Mueller Jun 14 2023, 07:40 AM

Picked this up on Monday, 550 lbs and my back is still feeling it today.

Took 30 seconds to load it on the trailer with a fork lift and an hour by self using an engine hoist.

Had to take the spindle off to repair some hoses and make room for the slings

Neat little machine, cast iron frame with a 24,000 rpm water cooled spindle.
Runs on LinuxCNC which is an open source software.

Hope to be making chips this weekend.

Posted by: BillJ Jun 14 2023, 09:27 AM

Very cool!!!

Posted by: 76-914 Jun 14 2023, 10:01 AM

Sweet. Asian? Power feed? DRO?

Posted by: Mueller Jun 14 2023, 03:23 PM

Chinese base machine with Taiwanese linear rails and ballscrews.

Full CNC control so the computer will control the speeds and feds and has a DRO.

My lathe is all manual with hand cranks and that has DRO.

I'm looking forward to doing some 3D machining which this should be ideal at.

Posted by: 76-914 Jun 14 2023, 07:29 PM

I've never seen you post anything about your lathe but I figured you had one. This Old Tony has a good video about replacing the ball screws.Can't wait to see you turn out some things on the mill. Bitching!

Posted by: Mueller Jun 24 2023, 09:41 PM

We have a runner, test run of a 2.3 emblem.

Due to work and crazy schedule won’t be able to make these until 4th of July weekend.

Cool router table!

What kind of spindle is on that thing? Curious if it's one of those ~3 kW DC drive jobbers.

Posted by: Mueller Jun 28 2023, 09:22 PM

2.2kW 3 phase AC spindle.

Manual tool change, ER20 collets. I would love to upgrade it to automatic tool changer spindle but not sure if I'll go that route or not.

Posted by: densible1 Jul 2 2023, 12:46 PM

Hi Mike, could I possibly order an emblem for my blue 914 build that's in the works. Would like it to read "914-4 VW (logo)-2.3S". Ok without VW logo if that's a stretch. Please advise on payment.
