2008 Dodge Grand Caravan Steering Wheel Logo Plate

thingiverse

This is basically a remix of a great design of a Grill emblem by JustinSpanier. I shrunk the basic components flattened the plate and added the pins to the rear. I modified them mostly by using Tinkercad and MeshMixer. Edit Them online here: Dodge Logo Plate https://www.tinkercad.com/things/kI3WIBJsEP6 Blank Plate https://www.tinkercad.com/things/9ijcYeZMVwO This is version 4 and everything matches up almost perfectly, including the pin placement. This piece is simply pushed into place and the pins should apply just enough pressure to hold it in place or a small amount of tacky glue or tape could be used. I hope someone can find this useful. Print only the file you need each one is a different option. Files Included: ---Dodge Full Logo Plate. You will need to add printing supports to this plate. ---Dodge Rams Head Logo only. You will need to add printing supports to this plate. ---A blank plate for those who wish to customize it rather then use the Dodge name and Logo. You will need to add printing supports to this plate. ---Copies of all 3 plates with printing supports for those who just want to download and print. The support trees were created in Meshmixer and are easily removed, but as I stated the pins for the plate are a weak point and easily break off and have to be glued back on. ---Copies of all 3 plates with the Pins as a separate part. This eliminates the need for supports and also should correct the pin attachment weakness issue cause by printing the pins in place. ---Pins for the Plates. Print 3 pins for each plate your printing. Considerations: ---I consider this a work in progress. ---The pin attachments are weak if printed as a single solid unit in the current printing position. They brake off easily while removing the support material, even when printed at 100% infill. They can easily be glued back into place. Printing the pins horizontally as a separate piece or using small dowels in place of printed pieces is an option. ---The detail is so small on the lettering for the word DODGE that the G and E don't print well with a .4 nozzle. This could be resolved by using a .2 or .3 nozzle but I don't have them yet, to test that out. Last Updated May 16, 2018. Please leave any thoughts, comments or ideas below. As I get time I will try implementing the other options I have listed.
