Callsign Patch
3D Printing
I created a bespoke callsign patch using the multi-material feature of the Bambu X1 Carbon 3D printer, printing both black and white PLA within the same object.
I included a number of holes around the periphery of the patch so that thread could be used to more securely attach a strip of adhesive hook-and-loop tape to the patch itself.
