Creating the Coca-Cola Logo Part 2
I forgot to write the continuation!
Since the topic is minor, this is a bit of a tangent article.

This time, I printed it with PETG.
PLA and PETG do not stick together
I learned from reading Plastic_gear's article that PLA and PETG do not stick together.
This article uses that property to create beautiful overhangs. It's an interesting read.
Overhangs are the Achilles' heel of FDM.
I wonder what kind of technological innovations will resolve this in the future.
An overhang is a wall that is steeper than vertical.
I used to do a little rock climbing back in the day, but it's quite tough.
You can't do this unless you have the body of a teenager. No way, no way.
Tom Cruise is amazing. He was 38 at the time.
In the case of 3D printers, an overhang of about 45 degrees is fine.
It depends on the cooling performance of the printer.
PLA can be printed quite cleanly, but PETG becomes uneven.
So, getting back to the topic, apparently PLA and PETG don't stick together.
I had been mixing them for printing until last month, so that means that was a no-go.
It's absolutely impossible for parts that require strength.
The other day, the filament ran out halfway through, so I tried switching from PETG to PLA, and it broke perfectly.
It sticks enough to withstand printing, but if you apply force with your hand, it pops right off.
This logo has many seams, so it's definitely impossible.
PLA has poor weather resistance, so I can't use it.
So, I printed both colors in PETG.
I don't have red, so I used a reddish filament.
Yes, it's done!
The wavy line in the real logo is positioned below the text, so this logo is the only one of its kind in the world. Hehe!
It failed a little, but it's a waste, so I'll use it as is!
The back side is dirty. This is what happens when you print without cleaning it properly.
Setting it up right away
I went to my usual shop.
They were busy with the lunch rush, so I snuck it up on the wall.
This is the pizza oven area in front of the shop.
It has a nice West Coast vibe! Or maybe it's more Guam or Saipan?
This exchange really shows how much I just do whatever I want.
This time it's an unauthorized use of the logo, but since it's basically promoting the products sold at the restaurant where I installed it, I doubt anyone will complain.
There's a Coca-Cola distribution center nearby, you know.
If they tell me, 'That's not our product logo!', I'll just honestly remake it.
The end.
