I like logo designs and often consider game assets interesting and well-made. As I currently like to play Bethesda's Starfield but don't want to exhibit the obvious game logo, I stumbled upon the Stroud Eklund logo when I bought my first new ship.
This print represents the company logo as it can be found in the lobby area of the Stroud Eklund Staryard in the orbit of Dalvik.
Printed in its original size, the logo measures about 136 x 38 cm. However, it can be printed at any size. At some point, the thin edging of the letters and the flat peaks design will probably vanish as it's just one millimetre wide. Whereas the lettering is flat, the logo part comes in three different variations:
The original design comes closest to the logo on the wall of the Stroud Eklund Shipyard. The two peaks are slightly bevelled from the inside to the outside and include two thin frames to hold a sheet of glass – in this case, represented by a thick one-layer print of transparent PLA or the material of your choice.
The simplified design transforms the glass in the foreground to a representation of its shape in the background, so there is no need for transparent material, but the overall shape remains unchanged.
The flat design reduces the shape to its bare minimum and maintains the contours without the depths and slopes of the other variations.
For the lettering, you can achieve great results with ironing enabled for all top surfaces. The layer height can be as coarse as you like. The same applies to the flat version of the logo part.
For the original and simplified logo parts, I recommend printing the two peaks with a small layer height and an increased minimum top shell thickness of 1 mm or more to avoid visible artefacts. You may also want to use denser infill.
For the sheet of glass, I printed one 0.28 mm layer of transparent PLA and slightly glued it into position. The thin sheet is quite flexible, but in my case, printing more than one layer turned my transparent PLA very opaque. You may obtain better results with a thicker sheet depending on your material.
The logo and lettering are available as combined files that can be split into separate objects for printing one part or letter after the other. Bambu Studio or PrusaSlicer do a great job with auto-arranging all parts.
Additionally, you may want to print the stencil parts, which can be glued together to allow you to place all logo parts accurately.
Print all stencil parts and glue them together. Position and temporarily fix the entire stencil on your wall and place all parts and letters individually by putting them in their respective spots. Once all parts are placed and fixed, remove the stencil.
I recommend using something like UHU Patafix to fix all parts on the wall, which can be removed easily and allows minor adjustments during the positioning.
