U.S. Coast Guard - Petty Officer Insignias (NCOs)

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. You can choose between, for each rank, either the Whole or Split version. I decided to split the rank design because I wanted the shield to be a different color from the bottom chevron. Kind of like the actual collared version rank, right?! By aligning the key-whole (male/female end) on the back of the shield and on the mount base on the chevron, it 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!
