IDIC

thingiverse

IDIC - Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations is a Vulcan philosophy that accepts that there is strength in diversity. It was considered a backbone of the original Star Trek series. [](https://youtu.be/0SmYAHRI-dw) This IDIC medallion was featured on an episode entitled, "Is There In Truth No Beauty". It supposedly incorporates many different shapes, materials, textures, etc., to represent diversity. Since diversity seems to be a key part of the JoCoCruise philosophy, I felt t an IDIC would be a good symbol. I wasn't satisfied with the others I found on Thingiverse, so I made my own. There are two versions here. One is just the IDIC medallion, in two parts. The large piece should be gold and smooth. The smaller piece should be silver and printed with a rough finish. If using Cura as your slicer, there is a setting called "Fuzzy Skin" in the Experimental section that give the texture shown in the shots above. This version will need some kind of attachment, depending on how you want to wear and display it. The second version is in three parts, and made for embedded magnets. Print both Mag part at the same time, Set your slicer to pause at the the last level of the internal pockets, insert the magnets, and resume printing. Make sure you think about the polarity of the magnets before inserting. I get my magnets from https://www.kjmagnetics.com, part number D61-N52. It was designed to hold a 9mm CZ which was pretty cheap on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076WWKYQK/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_Y5ukDbJQX2DV7 I used Hatchbox Silver, which is currently unavailable from Hatchbox, so I'm going to need to find something else. And an off-brand gold https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XRPYXP2/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_s7ukDbF05HQCB LLAP
