Cooler-Figur

After the original hood ornament star of our dear MB-E 220 has been ripped out yet again, I decided to create and 3d-print my own.

This is a 3d-printed hood ornament for a 20-year-old MB vehicle. The original design with springs has been copied. A screw-hole allows to mount any figurine to the base-plate. Hood ornamet spells "Kühlerfigur" in german, so this project is the next version, the "Cooler-Figur".

The design-files are available on thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1401246. The figurine used here is a batarang, that has been remixed to fit to the above base (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26130).

The ornament has been printed in PLA using a CTC 3d printer, and lasted during a journey from Germany around the baltic sea to the North Cape and back through Russia spanning more than 8000km.

Cool, but I think it should be metal, so it wouldn'y break if it hit a rock.

For something permanent like that you should consider getting it printed in aluminum.
