What drawing formats do you have for the 7 emblem? If I can pull it into Fusion 360 or s dxf or svg straight into my CAM package it's easy to produce.


He posted a .jpg which I believe can be pulled into F360. Saw a YT video on it a while back, I "think" it was James Clough (Clough42).


You can pull in a jpeg, but it comes in as a canvas. It's just an image that you have in the background and have to trace over.

I drew the DXF shown above. All I ask is that if you are making them for sale, please send me one gratis.
Thanks,
Paul

Curious, how small can you go & still keep that level of detail? 2"x2"?

Where is BOTBASHER when you need him.. Was thinking back when he had was cranking those out that he should have made a bunch more.
They are spot on.

BOTBASHER was really set up for these. Access to a laser cutter and stud gung at his work. I can get nice lines, but nowhere near the cut quality he had in stainless. In mild steel I'll go toe to toe with Laser on anything except kerf width.
