Purchased the industrial double-sided emblem adhesive (foam) from Amazon for $9/3 sheets. So far the emblems have held up perfectly. I printed in PLA at only 20% infill (like a honeycomb on the inside). I taped a metal straight-edge to the hull in order to maintain a straight line....and used a drill bit as a spacer between letters. Technology is a great thing!

Built up the coosa lid with 2 layers of 1/2" HDPE which got very heavy. Made templates and cut the peices out with a jigsaw and cnc router. Had to hollow out the middle layer and buy stronger gas shocks.

Taco Marine Commander hinges. NOS off eBay.

No problem here in NC.

Mounted using double-sided auto emblem adhesive...cut on my wife's Cricut. Surface is "as-printed"...small ridges with a wood-grain like finish. I could have given a smooth finish but actually like the 3D printed finish.
