Progress on the hockey puck (3d printed), Final draft, ready for printing. Options

[emerygt350]

Been playing with many different approaches to a 3d printed hockey puck. I gave up on the leather texture and instead have gone for a nod to the original but one that instead looks good and prints easily. That means two pieces and a larger emblem.

I have it as two pieces now so the detail of the emblem is good on a filament printer (you need to print it at an angle with supports but the puck sides are printed flat on the board for best results with no supports needed. I have not uploaded these to my collection on thingiverse yet. I will provide instructions on printing when I do. If you have a resin printer the single piece form with the smaller emblem will work fine.

These were printed at low resolution. I will print a high resolution form, paint and assemble when I get a chance.

On to the great work that you are doing on the horn pucks. These pictures show the leather part as Dale contoured it for my 6 build. My factory old puck was less than flat same as @sixnotfour showed us. You can see how the leather has shrunk down as the padding material under the leather aged. If you could put the slight dome contour on your as well as the leather texture on it would be a fantastic item for people. I hope that you will come up with a way to monetize all your hard work!

By the way I do not care what the Chalon hatters saw, I love the look of the Porsche 914 Chalon body, have from the late 1970. I had thought of doing one and putting the aluminum front and rear bumpers and real rubber accordion pieces from real 911s or 924 and Valances so it would not get damaged from scrapes in the real world. Just my thinking in the 80s
