Custom Pininfarina Emblem

[Austenp405]

I had some free time at work today so I hopped on the CNC and did a little emblem. No idea what I'll put it on yet but extremely happy with how it turned out.



Engraving on the machine



A coat of red paint



The final result, after milling off the paint then brushing the aluminum.

I want one !

how thick is it?

[Austenp405]

It's about 4" L x 1/2" W. Thickness is about 1/4" but the backside can always be milled off to whatever thickness I want. The engraving is .05" deep. I just used some scrap aluminum that was sitting in the recycling bin.

Cool tool. Kind of like watching some of these home improvement shows on TV where they have every tool and piece of machinery in existence to complete the job.

Anybody ever buy these? I am thinking of getting them and cutting off the first part and attaching at the lower front fenders.

Keep looking - I've got a set that didn't have the "disegno" on them. I used them as a template for the marquetry on my dash.

I think the same thing about car shows. But, for what I've paid in tuition I could've purchased my own fully stocked shop. Using their toys is the least they can let me do.

Thanks! I'm still learning how to use it but it's so much fun thinking of all the possibilities.

Maybe a billet scorpion in the future???

To cool thanks for sharing!

I've thought about the scorpion but I would want to make it 3 dimensional, which would take a lot of coding. Maybe I'll tackle something like that after this semester.

The next time I have some free time I'm thinking about doing something like this:

I know that a bunch of 79 fiat owners would love to get replica "2000" rear deck trunk lock plates. The only ones I have seen are the "fuel injection" version. Just a thought, if you are interested I will send you my old one for free and you can use it as a template, I am not going to use it. Maybe make a little money to support your Fiat habit, I will give you the part for free but when you can i would appreciate it if you donated the cost to a charity of your choosing.

I thought about reproducing stock badges but decided against it since there are other places to get them that aren't so labor intensive. I'm a working student here so I had higher priorities than reproducing something readily available.

However, I didn't realize there wasn't a place to get the trunk badges. I'll PM you and we can talk details a little more.

Cool, here is a picture of the 79's lid lock emblem, I have never found a replica I think because it was only for the 79. Sorry this is blurry I zoomed in and cut it from an old picture.
