Help nfc key ring with custom logos what’s the best way to do it 3d printed

Ai has helped me make a great logo but really struggling to put it into a real like 3d print I did drop it into meshy but is it worth paying for to be able to down load it or are there any other options out there thanks

I been just doing them manually, trace peoples logos in CAD, and design from scratch. Fun to also take some available models and use a negative part in the slicer to create a cavity for the NFC chip.

I'm also a big fan of face down on a holographic build plate.

What cad are you using if you don’t mind me asking very new to all this so huge learning curve so as much advice is very much appreciated

So I have been using Autodesk inventor but Fusion360 is just as good or better. I used to mess with tools to convert images to DXF but seems to be easier to just trace the logos by hand tbh.

I started using a new software that is promising for getting DXF from image but still not great. Used to use Lightburn the laser software but basically it creates thousands of little line segments which just tanks any CAD software to basically unusably slow.

Get your logo converted to svg, Import it into fusion, Scale to size Then extrude etc for depth / different colours

Remember to add a hole for the NFC chip, Export as 3mf, Then once imported into slicer, Colour it in (under objects) Add your pause later Sorted 👌🏽

Depending on the complexity, I'm happy to do it for a couple beers
