Chef Hat Pin

A pin to give only to Michelin-starred chefs! If you don't have chef friends with at least one Michelin star, then don't print this pin!

Jokes aside, this pin is useful both for showcasing your more “culinary” side, which will identify you as a meticulous person (50 grams of sugar, not 52, otherwise it won't whip, blah blah blah), and for giving a gift to that friend who always saves you during barbecues by cooking at 65 degrees under the scorching sun.

A really quick gadget to print, basic but multi-purpose… use it to pick up people as an icebreaker! How? I don't know… I would never do such a thing, I'm not crazy, but you try it and then tell me in the comments if it worked and if you were subjected to a compulsory psychiatric treatment.

The modifications made to the speed and first layer extruder are designed to make the grooves between two plastic lines less visible. You can adjust these parameters as you wish to improve the first layer (the most important for this type of object).

The central hole is for gluing the pin that will hold the badge. I made it 4.8 mm, it's a bit tight to increase retention and you need to push the pin in with small pliers. If you don't like this method, just increase the size to 4.9 and it will go in without problems. I used normal super glue or similar to fix it to the hole.

The DIY pins I used can be found on AliExpress, I'm sending you two photos just to understand:

Make sure to get these, or if you choose others, modify the hole to fit the size of your pin base.

Many thanks from Roa.
