3D printed Tap Handle info needed

[sar_dog_1]

I am interested in having a tap handle created from my homebrew logo.

Does anybody have any experience with 3D printers? How long would it take to program a 3D version of the gote head? What would be a reasonable price to ask someone to create this from scratch and print?

Sorry for all the questions but I have no idea what to offer someone.

Cheers!
Jamie

Still looking?

I have no 3D design skills but I just picked up a 3D printer. If you can find someone willing to create the 3d file, I would be willing to print it out.

Check a 3d printer forum for or a user on thingiverse or yeggi that might be willing to help out.

I would print it for the cost of filament + shipping + threaded brass insert.

I just wanted to follow this thread. I think this is a great idea and might do it myself.

I could help out if you're still interested. I can design a 3D model and send to schard84 if he wants to print it out.

If the OP replies I am game.

How much approximately are the materials and what file type do you need the design in?
If you are willing to do it for others besides the OP I may be interested in two tap handles in a design I've created.

Thanks!

I am willing to do it for whoever can give me a file to work with, given my printer can handle the size and complexity.

PM sent, we can work out the details outside of this thread.

With a logo like the OP's, I'd seek out a model with a broad flat area and add the logo as a raised area on it:

You get the idea. You can generally do enough in TinkerCad to manipulate these, or pay someone on Fiverr to do the modification.
