It just dawned on me that the Fallen Warrior Memorial in style a was open in the back, so I’ve re-made that stl closed. If you have a 3d printer you might want to re-download it.

US Coast Guard Emblem
The US Coast Guard emblem is ready to go. Next up, the Coast Guard officers emblem followed by the Aviation Boatswain’s Mate wings.
3d Printing these models
I’ve made a change to the license terms which will apply to all models already sold. I’ve got a customer who is using these models for a 3d printer, and after making several models for him it occurred to me that my existing license didn’t allow for that. So I’ve added 3d printing to what’s allowed under the license. I had meant to allow that all along but just hadn’t thought about it. Disclaimer: If you want to remain under the license in force when you bought it you have that right. However, please don’t contact me and ask me to file suit to prevent you from 3d printing models purchased under the old license, I’m just not going to do it.
On the same topic, I’ve been told that the stl files need to be closed on the back for 3d printing. Everything I made before the Air Force Navigator wings was hollow in all styles, everything recent is solid in style a only.
There is an issue in Aspire in that it closes the front of the model on a dished model rather than the back. I don’t know if Vectric will or even can fix this. There is a work around I can use but it requires flat area at the material surface surrounding the model, something I’d rather not do. It’s easy enough to do at the time of creation, only requiring a vector to be offset a little bit, but I don’t like how it looks. However, if you want to 3d print a model in style b or c let me know and I’ll set it up for you.
Combat Aircrew Badge
I’ve just added the USMC Combat Aircrew wings. Next up, the US Coast Guard emblem followed by the Coast Guard officers emblem.
New Model – Air Force Pilot Wings
I’ve just added a new model, Air Force Pilot wings. Next up, Marine Corps Combat Aircrew wings.
Coast Guard Rank
I’ve added the Coast Guard rank to the site. I’ve also inserted it into the existing combo pack. I think I’ve emailed everyone who purchased the rank combo pack how to get an update but if you purchased that combo pack and didn’t get an email from me let me know so I can get you the update.
My list is empty right now so if there’s a model you want this is a good time to let me know.
USAF Navigator Wings
US Coast Guard is now in the mix.
I got a request for US Coast Guard rank and a qualification badge. It’s past time to have the Coast Guard represented so I have added a page and created the first model, the Cuttermans Pin. The rank will be along shortly as well, but I’ve got another request I’m going to make first, Air Force navigator wings. This is the first time I’ll be making a model out of the order I received the requests but in this case the wings are mostly already made.
Two new models
I’ve added two new models to the site.
First is the 1st Marine Air Wing.
I’ve also added the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit.
Next up, who knows. Probably a Navy ship or possibly some other kind of Navy emblem. I’ll be browsing for something interesting to model, suggestions welcome.
New products page
I’ve updated the products page to reflect a change in my other pages. There are now 3 separate Army pages, one each for DUI, Branch insignia, and qualification badges. Two Air Force and Navy pages reflecting similar changes there. The products page now has pictures instead of just buttons and will take you directly to the selected page rather than one page with everything. Hopefully this will be easier to navigate and make more sense, but frankly I did it to make it easier to add models to the site.
Next up will be a yet to be determined Marine Corps emblem.
