There's four places for pips, in case anyone accumulates that many. If they accumulated more, of course, we could simply send them a second badge.

I'm not sure what to do the pips in. It might make sense to make them a standard size for something like sequins, or possibly it makes sense to just print out some little things to put in there.

I don't do a ton of 3D design, so this was a great opportunity to sharpen my abilities. I would just like to point out that this is get another example of one of the amazing benefits of our country: if you're enthusiastic and spend time trying new stuff, you can get better at things or learn entirely new skills.

Ooh I'm getting Starfleet vibes and love it!

Okay, I did a quick mock-up of what I was thinking.  And I have to say, I like it a lot better.  It requires less work (important when we're thinking about the future), it's a little more flexible, and it looks good.

Great! The only thing I'm wondering is if maybe the whole thing with the cord is unnecessary. Maybe it makes more sense to just make divots where pips can be glued. This design is meant to be able to be turned any which way and still look correct, but the cord thing kind of makes that impossible.

Okay, I printed out some prototypes that came out well.  Getting the clip to print right and still be able to smoothly remove supports took a little tweaking.  Unfortunately, the first batch were comically small!

However, this batch turned out perfectly... exactly what I imagined.  The cord press-fits into the back, although it can be secured with a drop of glue for added security.  Here's a pic, with a d6 for comparison.



I'm open to any suggestions about improvements, but I'm honestly pretty happy with the results.  This is designed to be put on a lapel, pocket, or sash.

Thank you hun for your support. @Crement Itravilatx

We are a small party but are always okay with getting bigger. We desire a Talossa where politics is a feature not the feature of national culture. And a Talossa where politics is not used to run people out or ostracize but to bring people together.

Agree? Join us and as the American civil rights legend, John Lewis, urged "we will make good trouble together."
