Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Badge Plaque

Celebrate military excellence and precision with this highly detailed Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) badge plaque.

Designed for EOD technicians, veterans, and military history enthusiasts, this model accurately captures the iconic components of the EOD Badge, this model makes an incredible wall plaque, shadow box addition, or desk display piece.

The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Badge is a military badge of the United States Armed Forces which recognizes those service members, qualified as explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) technicians, who are specially trained to deal with the construction, deployment, disarmament, and disposal of high explosive munitions including other types of ordnance such as nuclear, biological and chemical weapons along with improvised explosive devices (IED) and improvised nuclear devices (IND).  The EOD Badge is the only occupational badge awarded to all four services under the United States Department of Defense.

Key Features:

• Wall-Mountable by Default: Designed with a negative volume modifier in the slicer to provide a built-in hanging hole on the back. If you prefer a completely flat back for a desk display or shadow box, simply delete the negative object before slicing.
• Fully Scalable: Easily scale these up for bold wall art or scale them down for tasteful desk displays. (Note: If you keep the hanging holes, they will scale proportionally with the model).

Optimized Print Settings: 

The included slicer settings have been meticulously dialed in to minimize layer lines and maximize aesthetic quality. For the best results straight off the build plate, I recommend the following parameters:

• Nozzle Size: 0.4mm for the default scale. (Note: If you reduce the scale significantly, I highly recommend switching to a 0.2mm nozzle to preserve the ultra-fine details).
• Layer Height: 0.12mm - 0.16mm to capture the intricate textures.
• Infill: 15% (Gyroid) for an ideal balance of weight and structural durability.
• Orientation: Print flat on its back to ensure optimal bed adhesion and a pristine top-surface finish.

Pro-Tip: Print this in Matte Grey PLA, dark grey PETG, or a carbon fiber/marble blend to give it a truly authentic, tactical finish! (Display Model Printed in Matte PLA).  If using filament with additives, do not use smaller layer heights due to the likelihood of nozzle clogging.

Thanks for the support, and happy printing!
