I'll give it a try sometime - or maybe raised logos. I don't think PLA would last long though.

I'm thinking of getting my 11 yo a 3d printer for Christmas this year, then I can just tell him what I want and he can make it for me...
I had a friend that missed his wife's birthday..Man was she angry. To make up for its she told him that she wanted something in the driveway tomorrow that went to 300 in less than 12 seconds.
The next morning she looked out the front door and saw a scale.
He hasn't been seen since then.
Thanks. I literally know nothing about 3D printing. Seems more like some kind of voodoo to me! Unless there were huge demand, it's definitely not worth spending an hour figuring out how to print a pick when so many choices abound.
Hmm. The scale and maybe her mouth are the only things capable of that.
Sad to see him go, he obviously earned his way out!
That looks awesome.
Agree, just need a bit of style, and a bigger bit of comfort and enough ‘go’ to get out of trouble
There are lots of files available for guitar picks, so that would be fast. I just haven't looked seriously at other plastics.

I heard that too! If Chris was still alive today he would need to use a Susan B Anthony Dollar for a pick due to inflation! Ha!
I've been using an online program called.Tinkercad for design. It's aimed at kids.
If your son is interested, I would encourage him. But do some reading on printers to avoid spending a lot of time setting the machine itself up. That seems to be its own hobby!
The one we got worked right out of the box, but it wasn't the cheapest option.
Feel free to PM me about it.
I do need to research, as I know nothing about them.
I will probably spend Rickenbacker money on one, so it lasts....
Ours was more like Epiphone money
They were a cool band. Fun material.

The singer/keys guy in the band I started with recently says he is going to print picks with the band initials to throw into the audience. Really? It is pretty funny because we are a dad band.
Smoke 'em if you got 'em? Or something like that?

Okay, how many of you guys are old enough to know what THIS is?
Well, for those you who aren't, and thus have no idea what it is. It's an eighties "Soundmix Machine" or as we know it today: a Karaoke Machine, although its modern day descendant is way different with Bluetooth and wireless Mics.
Last weekend, I picked one of those up for cheap, because one of the Tape players had been removed. It came with the tapes, that are on top of it.
Now because those things have a guitar input, I figured that I could try it out as an amp, see if I could get any good sounds from it.
Yeah... Nope, it sounds way too tinny and bloodless for my taste, when plugged into the Mic input, it got some fuzz but not particularly creamy fuzz tones.
But deciding that it could have its uses, I cleared out a spot in my workshop, placed it there, and hooked a CD player via a cable that goes into the Guitar input. It works really well, sure, those 40-something Hi-fi speakers that are in there don't really give a "Hi-Fi" sound in modern terms, but it's way fun. Old school and I still can use it to test out guitars.

I get throwing the pics out if you're Warren Haynes, but...
Ask him which plastic he is using.
I could do some Dad Jam Band picks
Good for the shop!
I had a boom box with a mic input. I could overdub on cassette with it.
My first car was more a poor kid's hotrod you might say. After that I knew I wanted looks, luxury, smooth ride and style. Thus the Cordoba.
