Thanks. Yours does too and it's cool you're playing around with this, especially using the 3D printing technology. Keep up the good work.

Stinks those melted in the oven though. How hot was the oven and how hot will they get in the summer sun on your dark grey car?

200.. took 5 min to start melting. I normally bake for 20.

Yeah, same thought. Probably would have melted on the car in the hot sun.

Going to try a different mix with the printer.

For reference...I've measured the surface temp of my black paint while sitting out in the sun in the middle of a Phoenix summer and it was 145.5 degrees F.

Thanks..Yeah, no good. I tried a different mix and it deformed at 150.

I see a lot of the emblems on ebay using abs so I must be doing something wrong.

Ordered some black acylic which supposedly melts at 320. We shall see.
