3D Printed emblem
I've been noticing how many of the 82 series are missing their grill emblem, and wondered what kind of replica I could make on my 3D printer. So, took the original off my 782, drew it up in SolidWorks, and printed using ABS plastic. A bit of chrome in a can and what I'm sure are the incorrect shades of red and black out of a rattle can and here's what I've got. It's not nearly as shiny as the original factory chromed piece (on left in picture), but for a utilitarian piece, I thought not bad.

Thanks all! Compliments coming from the likes of you guys with some of the work that you all have posted means a lot!
As for the cost...the actual material doesn’t cost much for the finished product, just a buck or two. The real costs add up though, just as with most any other fabrication job, in the setup and trial and error processes involved. The printing of one of these probably took a couple hours of machine time too. It’s one of those things like most hobbies (including Cub Cadets) that the cost often times is more than the worth of the finished product.

Looks good.
 I know the 3D printing is big in the RC world. Amazing what can be done.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.

I bet you could sell a bunch of those. If you don't mind me asking, how much does it cost to do something like that?
