HAHA! That was awesome. Love it.
Back at you on the help. Thanks for that generous offer. For sure, and if you want some models built, I would love to help out. Just PM and I'll give you my number. In fact, I'll just give it to you. If you're like "****, I would love to print whatever" but don't have the model, I can model it.
For example, you know those 3D logos that they show at the beginning of a football game. Like multiple levels of chrome and shiny. I work for a company called HOPsports and I do work with BrandAmp and do a lot of turning logos into 3D logos for TV and those would be very cool to print and put together. For example, something like this
That is simply an extruded version of their logo. It's super simple to make. If I can start with a vector image, I would break the vectors down in Illustrator or maybe PS and then I would send those paths to C4D, extrude them and make all the bevels and extrusions and then they would be ready to convert to print.
I mean, I am not saying let's make NFL Logo key chains, but I am just saying that the process of modeling can be a little easier than you think.
If anyone goes to this site
Brands of the World™ | Download vector logos and logotypes I could make a 3D model out of the vector image that they provide in a matter of an hour or less and make it look real good.
Like how about a DJI 3d extruded logo that one could tie to their gimbal lock as a reminder? I could make that in no time.
Maybe I'll figure it out and send it to you and see what happens. Whoever is down, I'm in.
Thanks for the laugh.
EDITL *** Brands of the world have several vector images for DJI which I am little surprised about frankly. If they are there, they are in the public domain and we could do anything we want with them.

Even though this, to the uninitiated just looks like a simple logo, its whats called a vector image which means its mathematically never ending for size. To help better understand, a picture or jpeg is what we call "rasterized". It's an image and nothing more. This is a vector image and what that means is I could blow it up to the size of a building if I wanted and make it a muriel and I could also bring it into Adobe Illustrator and it would have these paths (outlines) that C4D converts to a path that it understands.
Then I add what's called an "extrude nurb" one at a time and extrude it however I want and then it becomes a 3D movable object that could be used for anything in 3D.
This is why when you get a logo, make sure you get the vector of it or you are dealing with a low rent person.
I sort of made the process sound a drop easier than it is but with those DJI vectors, I am already brainstorming a couple of cool ideas.
Hell, even something as simple as a keychain would be something people would want. Like Mike said, not gonna make any money on it because it's gonna take forever to print and how much can you sell a plastic keychain? But you can use it for other purposes. PM sent.
One vector DJI image I found with a short look. When I get back home, I'll take the logo below and make it 3D to show you what I mean.
