Piston Shift Knob (with or without) "Rat Rod Fever" text

Description

Edit: It Is Now December 2020. What A Year....Amiright?! When I First Submitted This, I Was Completely New To Placing Files. ...And Now, I'Ve Learned A Thing Or Two....And Three. I Made This For My 1949 Ford Because I Needed A Shift Knob That Felt More At Home Than What Was Available, So I Designed This One. After A First Run (In The Photos) A Test Print. Then I Printed This With "Rust-Able Pla" From Proto-Pasta To Add Ultimate Character. That Filament Did Rust, But Not Much. So, Instead I Printed The Piston From Silver Petg To Help Withstand Summer Heat During Car Shows. The Piston Was Then Covered With A Heavy Dose Of Clear Coat. I Waited For It To Dry Enough To Be Tacky And Then Threw Iron Dust All Over It And Let It Dry. While Studying Rat Rod-Isms, I Learned An Easy Way To Make That Iron Rust Really Quick! Use Vinegar And Salt Mix And Sprayed It Lightly On The Piston/Iron Dust. After The 3Rd Treatment It Had This Cool Effect Of Rust Streaks. I Then Clear Coated It 5 More Times To Really Lock It In And Thick Enough For A Lil Wear-N-Tear. Now For The Details Since I Finally Know What I Am Talking About. Filament: Overture 1.75Mm Petg "Space Gray" Settings: - Shell And Top/Bottom Thicknesses - 1Mm - Layer/Resolution: 0.2Mm Is Fine Enough, Especially If You'Re Going To Coat It. - Print Speed: 65Mm/S² Temps: Nozzle- @ 238°C To 242°C / Bed- @60°C Once I Loaded This Onto The Creality Ender 5 Pro'S Software, I Scaled It Down To Dia. 64.0Mm And H At 73.38Mm. The Rest Is Up To You. Keep Your Rat Rod Mean And Ratical!!!
