Gunn Crest

The 3d model files for a large format Clan Gunn plaque for you to 3d print yourself, or have printed at a 3d hub or similar facility.

Gunn

Bears the motto "Aut Pax Aut Bellum", (either peace or war).   

The crest is comprised of a dexter hand wielding a sword.   This is contained within a belt to form the badge commonly used by clan members and the septs associated with the clan.

Our range of large format Scottish Clan Crests would be ideal to mount in a frame,  perhaps with a tartan backing. 

What you get

Purchasing this item will take you to a download page for you to retrieve the model file.   The ZIP file contains an .STL file with the 3d model.  The .STL format is very widely used in the 3d printing industry.  In the unlikely event that you need a different format,  we will happily do the conversion for you.

You will need some software and access to a 3d printer to make use of the file.

If you have your own 3d printer, you are all set.  If not, you could also make use of one of the thousands of 3d printing hubs springing up all over the world.  There is very likely a hub local to you.  Please note that you will need to pay additional fees to the printing facility to print the model for you.

As an added bonus, we are including a pack of scrolls that can be customized with your own text and printed out to compliment the plaque.  There are six scroll styles to choose from.  You get the Blender source file with full instructions to get you going in Blender, as well as each scroll style in .STL format for you to use with whatever 3d software you like.

Dimensions

11.5cm (4.5") wide x 15cm (6") tall and 1.5cm (0.5") front to back.

This item can be scaled to whatever size is needed,  the maximum size is only restricted by the build area of your 3d printer.  We have tested the prints down to 35% of the original size with a 0.4mm print nozzle.  The lettering still printed well at this size.  Smaller than 35% may risk losing definition on the lettering.

Printing Notes

We recommend printing with a high quality setting.   

Due to the large base area, it is essential to start with a level build-plate.    

If you have a heated build-plate,  set the minimum temperature needed to get good adhesion for the first layer.  When printing in PLA, we turn our build-plate heater off after layer 2, which avoids warping for the remainder of the print.

The model file provided is solid, i.e. not hollow.  This assumes you will be printing on a fused filament printer where you set the percentage infill you want in your software.   If you plan to print this with a facility that uses a powder based technology (like Shapeways or Sculpteo), it would be much cheaper to hollow out the model and create escape holes for unused powder.   While you could hollow out the model yourself using 3d software,  get in touch with us if you need a hollow version of the model and we will provide that as an after-care service.
