Springbok pin badge

thingiverse

Ahead of the Rugby World Cup final on Saturday I thought I'd knock up a little supporter pin badge. I covered the area with masking tape and then I laser etched and cut it on my 50W 4040 laser. I sprayed the still masked badge with black spray paint to highlight the dark areas. Then I peeled the white parts and hand-painted with white acrylic paint and a small brush. Then removed the tape from the rest and completed the project with a pin glued to the back. The only downside is that it is a bit small for a pin, I should have just glued a small piece of metal to the badge and then used a magnet to attach it.
