Would you post a link to one of the videos you’ve watched, to better understand your objective? Also consider to post the image you wish to convert.

There’s going to be some compromises made, as the image you’ve provided is multi-color and your printer is single color. Are you wanting to have a mostly flat print with raised portions where the black lines are located? The image you’ve provided is very small, making the black line portions equally tiny.
I’ve performed a bit of conversion on this image and the result can be found via my Dropbox storage. I am unable to attach the file in the message. Let me know when you’ve downloaded it so I can remove it to keep my storage clear.
It’s 8 mm tall and a bit more than 83 mm in x/y direction. If this isn’t what you want, let me know what should be changed.

Hi there, I want to thank you once again for the lovely job you done creating that STL for me.
Could I ask if you are still doing this as I would appreciate if you could consider doing me another.
I would be willing to pay you for your time and expertise, it is for a Group that I am part of called The Royal Oak Society, and I will attach a Gif of our Emblem, There is a small Butterfly & Bee on the Royal Oak 1 gif and they are an Important part of the Emblem. I hope you don’t mind me contacting you, but as you had already done work for me I thought I would give you first offer.
Thank You Again

Hi Bruce thank you for your help, I have now created the Item with your help. But now when I try to print it, It comes out printed in individual parts so I need to now learn how to print it onto a backing (Maybe something round or shield shaped as It all fell apart lol)
