Dad3353 Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 OK, I'll go with the current dimensions. I'll still be needing those home addresses, of course. In your own time. 1 Quote

In the interests of transparency, as they say these days, here is a full cast list for The French Connection. Well done that man! It's always good when someone steps up to answer a call for assistance. 2 1 Quote

Dad3353 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) I printed a batch 'face-down', but the pins don't come out properly; the plastics too tiny to be useful. I've done another batch, 'face-up', which is much better. It's as easy to print six as one, so I did. Here's a 'teaser' uber-short video; real-time was three hours. I'll prepare them tomorrow; it's late now. They'll be in the post soon ... Edited January 25, 2021 by Dad3353 5 1 Quote
Maude Posted January 25, 2021 Author Posted January 25, 2021 From my point of view the pins aren't vital if they're proving tricky. Obviously I can't speak for @Rich. Once again, thank you. 🙂👍 Quote
Dad3353 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Not so much 'tricky' as not feasible with this material..! Quote
Rich Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Pins are absolutely not an issue, I'll take a pinless badge over no badge any day. Dad you're a superstar, thank you. 2 1 Quote

Maude Posted January 30, 2021 Author Posted January 30, 2021 Well, I've just had a knock at the door and opened it to find Michael Caine, Donald Sutherland and Robert Duvall on my doorstep. Sutherland hands me a packet (well places it on my step, stands back 2 metres and takes a photo of it) and informs me that "The Eagle has landed". @Dad3353, these are fantastic! Thank you so much. Soooo much better than having to resort to a vinyl sticker. The white is actually fine as it is but I'm off to fish out some gold paint in a mo and paint the top surface of one. A little sneaky peak. Once again thank you, a legend indeed. 😊👍 12 1 Quote
SpondonBassed Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Oh that works WELL. The 3d badge brings out the 3d effect of the pearloid(?). 1 Quote
Moldsight Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Wow just Wow Fantastic job Dad3353 first time I have seen results from 3D printing, really good. 1 Quote
Cato Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) That looks pure class. Excellent result from Douglas. Is that the restoration finished now @Maude? Any chance of some pics? Edited January 30, 2021 by Cato 1 Quote

Any chance of some pics? No not finished yet. I've got to fit the pickups/switches/controls and then try and wire it up so it works. I've been a bit slack but I just haven't felt like doing it for the last couple of weeks. These badges will spur me on now so will be finished soon. 2 Quote
Rich Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Excitement here also! Arrived safely this morning and I have to say I am blown away by their quality. Quite incredible. Here's one placed in situ on my bass, already looking a zillion times better than the previous gold vinyl decal. This and Maude's build have got me inspired to restore my bass to good working order. Watch this space. 4 1 Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 I'm loving these Hofner rebuild jobbies! For me, they are a nice size bass, quite small and light, and the lovely neck inlays have so much character! I think a mid and neck pickup placement would be well worth trying , as is often noted, the bridge pickup doesn't yield particularly useful tones. 1 Quote
