Next.js Conf 2024 Logo/Banner

A real-life model loosely based on the banner design used on the Next.js Conf 2024 website.

Proportions may not be completely accurate, and the X was modified so that it could print and stand on its own as a single part. The two different models have slightly different proportions of block size of gaps and vary in overlap for the diagonals.

Print Suggestions

• Print the front of the letters facing down flat onto the bed, to ensure the front of the letters has the cleanest possible surface.

• Use support cubic or lightning infill to reduce filament usage and speed up the print.

  • If you're printing the 1ft tall version and really want to reduce filament use, you can avoid printing the back of the letters and use 0% infill.

• Add additional infill with modifiers for the thinner diagonal parts. Use a more traditional infill pattern (e.g. standard cubic) for these.

• Taller layer lines (e.g. 0.25mm or more) and larger nozzles (0.6mm or 1.0mm, if you have it) should work fine here, especially for the larger model variant. There are no fine details.

• Clean up any stringing with flush cutters.

The provided 3mf PrusaSlicer project files incorporate these suggestions. The 1ft/298mm tall version uses lightning infill to be printable with slightly under 1kg of filament.

The prints in the photos use Elegoo PLA Matte in Navy Blue. This blue is a bit darker than the normal ideal "Next.js blue", but it's close enough.

CAD Models

STEP files are included. The full Onshape model is available here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/63274107099a5709991a0fd9/w/faeaffa717828cdd129dc8f4/e/89898fa6e61fc3dce0657f47

The Onshape model is parametric and includes two configurations for the small and the large (1ft/298mm tall) versions.
