V1 logo

May i ask, is the logo an engineering symbol? Or is it some random drawing you created?

Oh man, this is such a good trivia question. Let me see if anyone remembers what it is.

I will tell you tomorrow if no one knows.

I vaguely remember a conversation here a couple of years ago…

Didn’t the logo came from a bunch of jobs you ran on your machine and that pattern/design was engraved into the spoil board?

I don’t know…shot in the dark maybe … it could that have been on a different site

Heh, I only know because it came up semi-recently. The answer is in this thread somewhere.

Yeah I was redesigning the MPCNC parts so often I knew the dimensions by heart. I saw that as I was designing a new truck and center piece, that turned out not to be super functional (I planned on making a injection molded set).

So it is the side profile of the rail rolling parts, 3 bearings 120 degrees apart.

I really thought it was an engineering symbol that I was not familiar with. I like it!

This is from my first build in Apr 2016. The trucks here had that 120 degree bearing offsets on the trucks. I think it was more pronounced on the 525 version and definitely burly.

Which version did you start embossing the logo? I want to say burly, or the LR1.

Shoot let me check.

First files I am showing are Oct 2016, that is a screenshot from Solidworks.

I have that picture printed out and hanging on my toolbox. I know I kept it around for a while to make sure I liked it.

A lot of the other files are dec 2017, that might be when it went official, or when I did a backup.

What do you think? Is it a winner?

Love it, now I have it about 8" tattooed on my back.

That tattoo did not come out well… :laughing:

That’s a shoulder tatt, for sure (maybe even over-sized and tribal). Leave the tramp-stamp for Sandify to generate…
