Buying the original lettering and smaller chrome Boxster S badge costs almost £100 new.
Can anyone print one of these. I'll buy one €50.

Dont think something like that will work in a printer. If you desperately need it 3d printed (for some reason) with smooth surfaces as oem, that will cost you €500 I'd guess. Although never seen this smooth surface printer, yet.

Recommend you to call your parts manager at local Porsche instead.

Other option; No idea about quality and durability. Might melt next week under the sun, or turn pink in a month I have no idea. Strongly discourage but do let me know if you have absolutely no other choice.
