  * {{::online_arc_m0ouk_clothing.png?linkonly|}} - original .png from which the SVG was created

===== Method =====

My method was simple and consisted of these steps:

  - Obtain OARC logo as a .png
  - Convert the .png to SVG - I used an online tool [[https://www.pngtosvg.com/|ONLINE PNG OR JPG TO SVG CONVERTER]]
  - Import SVG into your CAD package - I used [[https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/overview|Fusion 360]]
  - Add a bounding box to act as the plaque backing
  - Extrude the outlines to the desired height (currently -5mm for the base (i.e. extrude down, leaving the sketch on the face of the plaque), 3mm for the logo and 1.5mm for the text)
  - Export as STL
  - Slice - I used [[https://www.prusa3d.com/page/prusaslicer_424/|PrusaSlicer]] and added a layer change after the plaque backing is complete to have the logo and text in a contrasting colour
  - Print
  - Enjoy!
