Networking Hack: 3D Printed LinkedIn Badge

In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you exactly how to make your own 3D printed LinkedIn badge — the same one people kept scanning at my last conference. This tag lets others connect with you instantly by scanning your LinkedIn QR code — no app searching or business cards required. I’m printing on a Bambu P1S with AMS, using white PLA for the base and black PLA for the text, but you can use any two contrasting colors you like.
