[How-To] Can this be printed?

I had a go at modeling it, by eyeball from the pic. It's not exact, but bears a decent resemblance. I have no Idea what the actual dimensions are, but based on the pic I guessed about 100mm wide.

The stl and stp are attached. The forum won't let me attach an actual .stp file, so i renamed the file 427 Logo.txt. Just rename it 427 Logo.stp and it should open in pretty much any CAD software.

Thank you all for the offers and suggestions. I was planning on buying a printer anyway that is why i was asking if it is possible.

I should have mentioned my background was machining, tool and die, and CNC. I am retired and have plenty of time on my hands, i have a manual full sized mill and lathe. I have yet to use a 3D printer and it intrigues me.

This is what it looked like before i took it down to metal.

And the current state of bare metal

I just ran across some videos of die casting the other day. They were duplicating figurines for board games. It was pretty interesting, they were using unvulcanized rubber to mold, and pouring metal (zamak? Magnesium? Not sure) into it. Much better surface finish than sand and seemed a lot easier entry point into casting than the "build a propane foundry" route.

usually silicone molds.
