Either import directly or use it as a guide for your own line art. I normally try and make the line width 0.75mm wide and 0.50mm deep. Notes: The best idea is to rotate the model 12.5 degrees from vertical so the logo face is perfectly vertical to keep that surface as flat as possible. Tap the base hole as M5 and the set screw hole as M4. I use this for the set screw McMaster-Carr - https://www.mcmaster.com/93038A126/ Post Process and Paint Fill Process: After Tapping the Knobs. I use a spare M5 Screw in a drill to chuck the knob. I then use Novus 7136 Plastic Polish Kit starting at 3 up to 1 to get the surface a bit shinier. For the colored paint Fill, I use Enamel paint meant for miniature model painting. I like the Testors brand. For White is use a Presto! Multipurpose Correction Pen If possible use an Ink Syringe with the enamel to fill otherwise I just use a paintbrush or needle to get it filled. I try and dab most of the paint off. This leaves it pretty messy. After the paint semi sets up. I take some Goof Off paint remover and wipe the surface clean with a microfiber towel. I repeat the paint application/wipe removal as needed till I'm happy with the fill.
