Hallo friends
Maybe somebody will find this post useful .
For my motorcycle model I needed to do company logo attached to the both sides of the fuel tank.
My requirements were to make emblems identical and easy to make.
I got an idea how to do it with help of 3D printer.
The first picture shows 3D printed rise letters contours which create closed walls around letters.
Then I mixed epoxy with color and filled space between walls with epoxy mixture.
Third pic. shows 38mm blank watch dial made by this method.
Thank you for watching.

That's a very good idea! Did you coat the emblem with a clear coat after applying the epoxy?
Thank you Webster epoxy has glassy surface //in my case slightly matt// so I will not spray it with clear coat.
Btw avoid acetone based colors these colors bent PLA material.
