Def Leppard 1980-1981 Triangle Name Logo

Step back to the early NWOBHM roots! This 3D display plaque captures the iconic early 1980–1981 Def Leppard triangle logo—featured during the On Through the Night era—with its distinct stacked typography, sharp geometric outer frame, and line accents.

This model is part of my Slave To The Metal 90s Drawing Series /Collection, where I am systematically turning my original hand-drawn concept art of classic band logos into clean, printable display pieces.

Easy Multi-Color Printing:

The model is engineered with a uniform 0.0625” face inset depth across the main body. This allows you to easily pop the triangular border and sharp jagged lettering using a simple z-height filament swap in your slicer (such as silver/white details over a deep blue or black base)! 

Dimensions

• Width: 9”

• Height: 9.3155”

• Total Thickness: 0.375”

Print Settings

• Layer Height: 0.12mm to 0.20mm (Lower layer heights yield incredibly smooth results across the blocky angles of the letters and sharp triangle points).
