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

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:  YesRetract at Layer Change:  YesAvoid Printed Parts While Traveling:  Yes (This helps a little to avoid Stringing)Z Hop When Retracting:  YesZ Hop Height:  0.2Much 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!
