Description

This is my first design since getting into 3d printing.  With a small child at home and friends not familiar with 3D printers, I wanted to warn people of burn risks with the printer while keeping thigs fun and attractive.

Since I look at 3d printers as early versions of real world Star Trek replicators, I decided to make a sign that went all in on that theme.  Starfleet logo, and the text reads: 

Replicator 

Warning 

Matter/energy conversion in progress 

Keep hands out of matter stream

The STL and file print well at 0.2 mm layer height and standard .4mm nozzle.  If you have a smaller nozzle, you can shrink it while keeping lettering detail.

The 3mf is set to do the 2 tone color in Prusaslicer, where the printer will pause, have you change filament and keep going.  It's also set to use Archimedean Chords for top and bottom infill pattern, which is the nice circular effect shown in the print image.  Obviously you can set your preferences to taste.

Final Print should easily attach with double sided tape, velcro etc. to a workbench, enclosure, etc.

I appreciate all feedback and constructive criticism since it's my first design.  Thanks!
