Buying the original lettering and smaller chrome Boxster S badge costs almost £100 new.

That would be pretty easy to do but because of the resolution being ~ 0.3mm you tend to get layer lines that would need some post processing to make it smooth.
One could brush some acetone on he lettering to melt the surface together to remove the lines or applying filler and sanding, which would be a bit tedious and time consuming.
What lettering do you need. I need some for my Trunk and it did not occur to me to 3D print it. Great suggestion.
