Nice. I like the pen and ink type sketch.

Here is my new draft... I will export it to a stl and get it up on the thingiverse after I do a draft print.

I was wondering if a groove in the top would allow to fit a thin piece of polished aluminum for a more original look. I groove like 6MM wide.

That would be another way of doing it. I was going to use spray chrome on that ring. I think it might be pretty difficult to find the right kind of chrome piece to make it look good. I wish I could figure out how to print a leather texture on that portion and then I would reverse that Porsche emblem so it was a cavity rather than standing proud.

I’d cut the circle on a bandsaw and do the inside with a hole saw. Grind it to fit perfectly and then polish it with polishing compound to get it to a chrome finish.

This stuff is black magic. Makes me have a ton more respect for the people that make those cgi movies like Shrek.

I contacted a friend of mine who does printing… and he ran the first model you published. He said he stopped and changed the wire to silver when it got to the logo portion.

I haven’t physically seen it yet… but I thought you’d be interested in this variation.

That is really nice. I should update the files with the new one. I have been running into issues on my machine. Research students damaged the membrane on the uv printer ....

This is a real early 911 horn button on my 6. To get it to look like this, you need the good leather and some padding behind it. Fully restored on chrome and plastic by PMB

but to get it for nothing on a 3d printer all you need is this!

After I run a test print I will put it up on thingiverse..

Man, that was a learning experience.
Looks like I distorted the Porsche emblem so it needs some more tweaking...

That picture gives me a good idea of the diameter compared to the wheel. I thought mine was a little narrow but I looks like there is a visible edge on the wheel under the puck.

Yes, it needs a bit of room so it can function as a horn button. It’s doing the same thing as a batwing and moving a bit to make contact for the horn to work

I have uploaded the most recent version. I have been having issues printing it so I haven't been able to test fitment but I figured uploading the stl wouldn't hurt.
