My next TMT would like hot wheels theme, so I had an AI come up with a couple renderings and am going with this one for inspiration. How can I add these recessed flames? I think I know how to add an SVG and change the height (not sure with the curve though), but I’m not savvy with designing software to design flames myself. How would you get flames that fit the fender & handles like this picture?

Gotta be careful with stuff like that. Might cause structural issues not designed into the existing parts.

i absolutely love this. I would try ADDED small veneer decorations instead of cutting into the existing parts. I think the new Bambu Mesh Studio might be a good place to start

Okay, I will look into adding or color changes instead of recessing the design, I didn’t consider a couple mm would affect integrity. Thank you!
I think that’s a neat design.
I would be most concerned about the “Storage Left” and “Storage Right” parts, because the side where you are showing the logo prints face-down on the build plate. So it might not come out as clean looking.
A neat thing I saw in a Facebook photo recently - they printed most of the wheel as black, then switched to grey or silver for the last few layers, so it looked like spokes. And then mounted the wheels with the “spokes” facing outward. I thought it looked rad and would really fit in with the Hot Wheels theme here.

I was only planning on doing the flames, so the storage one wouldn’t be an issue. I love the idea of the wheels that way though, thank you for the idea!
