    Uploaded another one of my 3D models for XJs on Thingiverse. This one is for a replica of the emblem that covers the screws on the handlebar pad. Seems like they are always absent and mine too was missing when I purchased the bike.

    Sorry I don't have a decent photo of the final version. The bike is stored elsewhere at the moment so I can't get one. This was one of the earlier prototypes and is kinda rough with residue from a failed paint experiment, but you get the idea. A resin printer would probably do an even better job. Just don't use PLA. It'll turn into a potato chip in the sun. PETG works a lot better.

    NICE!
    I have been using PETG from Hatchbox (buy on amazon) and it holds its color in the sun really well. I have boat parts that have been outside for 3 years now.

    Finally got the 750 back in my own garage. Here's the final PETG version with the super thin layers. You can barely see the layer lines.
