Beer pull handle prototype.

[SignProPlus-Alex]

Made a prototype for a customer.

Production run will be plastic cast with "weathered wood look" tint. .

Looks great, can you explain the process used to make it?

I like this concept a lot!

Personally, I'd want a bit less red in the main body, and something just seems off about the text, maybe it doesn't stand out enough?
The font is good but something else seems weird about it.

 

[SignProPlus-Alex]

I am working with customer provided logo and font.
Red color is primer bleeding tru glaze colors after I applied clear. It was not visible at all before. But I kinda like it. I will fix one side and keep red on other.
Process if fairly simple
1- design concept in 3d.
2- cnc route or carve by hand all the details
3- paint base coat and two coats of glaze paint.
I got about three hours of time in it. If I going to make them they will be poured out of hard resin with proper colorant, after they harden follow up with glaze and clear.

I like the look. I'd make little translucent paw prints and drip marks to make it look like a wet dog just ran across it.

Fun project!

like the new design with the improved contrast.

what is intended in the bottom "box" area?

 

[SignProPlus-Alex]

I got initial order for 500. Box on the bottom is for a decal with beer name or type. It is work in progress.

Very nice work! How do you keep the resin from cracking when it's pulled over and over?

 

[SignProPlus-Alex]

To produce 500 taps we will use 12 molds at the same time. With other 12 ready as a backup.
