PL-15E Achievement Commemorative Badge: Iron Dome Judgment

Keeping up with current events. :-)

I originally spent a long time using Photoshop, but the results weren't satisfactory. Then I discovered Sora, which performed exceptionally well, and the ability to continue modifying the image after generation is incredibly useful. The generated images were superior to my own work.

Initially, I used DeepSeek to submit my requirements and ideas, letting it brainstorm suitable prompts for the image.

I must say, I was very pleased with its suggestion: Iron Dome Judgment.

Next, I input the prompt generated by DeepSeek into Sora, and the resulting image was surprisingly good, even better than what I could achieve with Photoshop. However, the first version always had some issues, such as incorrect text or unsatisfactory shapes. Once a relatively satisfactory image was selected, I continued to modify it, for instance, correcting text or repositioning elements. Finally, to optimize the image for printing, my last step was converting it into a vector image.

Finally, I downloaded the image, imported it into MakerLab in MW, and selected Image Keychain Generator for direct generation. It was incredibly convenient.

However, the final print quality was poor, as shown in the image.

During printing, continuous errors occurred; the print head kept clicking, followed by error messages and printing halts. Following online tutorials, I cleaned the filament and print head, to no avail. I also disassembled the heat block, tightened the four screws on the back of the small metal plate, but still had no success. Eventually, I replaced the heat block with a new one purchased from the official website. This allowed printing to resume, but the print quality remained poor.

I hope a knowledgeable individual can provide guidance. Thank you.
