U.S. Coast Guard - Chief Petty Officers (Anchor Chevrons)

About the model

These designs were made with a flat-back surface to be wall mountable. The height of these designs, while laying on it's back, is 8 mm with the width at 100 mm. You can resize/rescale it for your printing pleasure. ***NOTE*** Each USCG CPO Anchor is different for mounting one or more "Chief Stars" so please be mindful on how you select and print each file. I decided to split this rank into separate components is only one reason. I wanted the shield and star(s) to be a silver color and the anchor to be gold. Kinda like the actual collared version rank, right?! By aligning the key-hole (male/female end) on the back of the shield and star, you'll be able to push it into the anchor and is self-centering thus making it a complete rank! (See Pictures) I Recommend using the "Z Hop - Retraction" when printing the shield. The following settings for retractions on this design are from Ultimaker's - Cura Slicer: Print Travel: • *Please note, the setting below may increase your print time! • Enable Retractions: Yes • Retract at Layer Change: Yes • Avoid Printed Parts While Traveling: Yes (This helps a little to avoid Stringing) • Z Hop When Retracting: Yes • Z Hop Height: 0.2 Much love to my Guardians out there, who are always on call and always ready to save the day! I hope you all enjoy and have fun with the designs!
