Hydrostream emblem .dxf?

**Riverman** · 02-27-2005, 10:13 PM

By the looks of things, the boat I am working at purchasing is missing it's emblems. Are they still available? If not, does anyone have a .dxf file of the image?

Thx Jeff

Awwwwww cmon, nobody has a dxf of the Hydrostream emblem?

Sorry man, no .dxf but here is a .jpg I had.
Good luck.

If anyone has the .dxf, I would like one as well, and the Mirage logo too.
Thanks

Riverman did anyone take care of you yet?
If not let me know.

**chynewalkr** · 02-28-2005, 05:33 PM

let us know if you get a dxf, I could make one

**Paul Vaillancourt** · 02-28-2005, 06:53 PM

I have a vector file that i made to make stickers from, I can save it as a DXF. It is not a copy of what was on the boat, it is just converted from the logo off the web site, with some minor editing.

That's great! I now have plenty to work with. If I ever get an injection molding die built, you guys will be the first to know. That is such a good looking emblem isn't it?

glad ya like it

ive thought about doing an aluminum mold with a 1 degree taper mill, and popping some cabosil/resin emblems gelcoated with a high metallic silver.

I've got it in AutoCAD dwg format and can convert it to a dxf if you like. Its the complete emblem like the metal ones on the boats with "Drive One And You'll Understand" below it. Let me know.

itchy- thats the logo I sent him, with a few lines cleaned up in autocad 2002 format.

I was thinking the same thing, sort of. First I have to see a logo close up to decide on the tooling. I think the plastic needs something like 5 degrees of draft in the mold. I have a small injection molding machine that could pop them out at about 2 per minute. I think the plastic can be plated too.

Just have to sharpen up on Mastercam!!

**1BadAction** · 02-28-2005, 08:19 PM

wow, 5 degrees is a bit more than i thought ( i was thinking 2 degrees total, 1* per side) The plastic can be plated, but Imo chrome plating on plastic doesnt hold up well... heres a logo I have done in the past on the mill, actually waterwings will be getting his this week

edit- riverman, sent you a MC9 master cam file, ready to run for a logo thats 7-1/2" or so long. you can scale it accordingly...

**Riverman** · 02-28-2005, 08:27 PM

I have seen that on here before, very cool. Was that done with a ball mill?

It is generally better to have more draft than less, especially with such a small & fragile workpiece. With less draft the part will tend to stick in the mold and break when the ejector pins try to push it out.

I guess paint or gel would be more durable than plating. An opposing colour would look good too.

WOW - thanks for the MC9 file! Can that be mirrored and regened?
