 @a71f39de @40275da3 Thanks for advices. However, keep in mind:

- the face where the logo will be placed is a bit embossed. So the logo isn't that high when on place
- I have to 3D print it! My smallest nozzle is 0.2mm. So I will never get this level of detail this way! If I had an SLA printer, the result would be on a total different level.
- And the colors... well, I can only approximate this with the filaments I have.

 @c76776cc @40275da3 Of course, just wanted to point out the things I noticed 🙂. On the original logos, the letters are only printed onto the surface. I guess that producing the logo as double-shot plastics (similar to higher end keycaps for mechanical keyboards) is pretty much impossible or would have been too expensive even for NeXT... It will be interesting to see what this looks like when 3D printed.

 @a71f39de @40275da3 My attempt will be a multicolor print IN the surface. This works quite well with the BambuLab printer and its AMS.

Take a look at this video when you get a chance: https://invidious.lunar.icu/watch?v=FIOnd8iYA3k

He has some very nice examples right at the beginning.

 @c76776cc @40275da3 Whow, that's neat 👍. And the printers are not even that expensive.

 @a71f39de @40275da3 Well, 1K4€ is quite a bit pricey 😐

 @a71f39de Maybe I should just print a black body for the logo, and then stick a foil with the logo? 🤔

These are additional costs to have such small logo stickers made.

All this the @40275da3 will never pay me! 😂

 @c76776cc @a71f39de @40275da3 I think that stickers (vinyl?) would be best in terms of both colour accuracy and detail. I may be wrong though since I have not done it myself, but I saw several makers printing vinyl (other?) stickers for restoration projects on YouTube.

 @afe1f357 @a71f39de @40275da3 Yeah, it's definitely an option!
