63BMack Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Are you sure you don't need a B42 emblem, don't think I have ever seen a D42. Kevin All, Mike Harbison or Matt Phaff might have some.

63BMack Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Ok, they weren't a cabover were they? The one's that the cab jacks straight up like the green one Doug Maney has.

doubleclutchinweasel Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 We do some 3D printing here (resin). But, we do not have the scanning capability. Should be companies out there that do both. A quick Google search should show some in your area. For a usable emblem, I would suggest the metal media (SLM, DMLS), not the resin (plastic). The metal can be polished or maybe chromed. The printed item can be made of varying densities, from "skeleton" to "solid". The metal parts lend themselves well to varying densities, with skeletonized areas where possible and solid areas where needed. Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Anybody have knowledge or contacts in the world of imaging and additive manufacturing? A scan of an existing D42 emblem can be digitized and 3d printed off. I need a G75 emblem for the radiator fill door of my Mack. This website would be a great place to store the files for anyone's future use in their restorations. Any thoughts on this???? I have a leftover B42 emblem to kick off the process if anyone is willing to try. I've got an extra G75 emblem Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68698-d42-emblem/#findComment-482802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
