3D Printed and Hand Painted Magnetic Rank Pips Set for Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Voyager Rank, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Cosplay Costumes

Mix and match this Career Set to cosplay as your favorite Ensign, Lieutenant Junior Grade, Lieutenant, Lieutenant Commander, Commander, or Captain! (A five pip backing for Fleet Captain is also available upon request.)

**Too many options and not sure which to choose? Our bestseller is the Gold color in either size!**

How It's Made:
The pips are 3D printed in PLA plastic and include neodymium N48 or N52 magnets secured with super glue. These are hand painted in your choice of Gold, Dark Bronze, or Bronze. Other custom colors may be available upon request, as well as an extra Glossy or Matte finish. The half pip is painted black and sealed with a clear gloss. These are made to order and creation process takes a few days, so if your order is time sensitive, please send us a message!

What's Included:
This set includes 4 pips, 1 half pip, a magnetic backing strip spaced for 4 pips, and a bonus single magnetic backing all packaged in a giftable black box. We use magnets instead of pins to keep your costumes in good shape and the pips evenly spaced! The magnetic backing is not painted and colors may vary. A slightly curved backing strip for a better fit on the Voyager/DS9 turtlenecks is available upon request!

Colors/Size:
As you know, the color of the pips tends to vary depending on the show, season, or episode, so we have several options! According to our research, it is likely that the screen used TNG pips were polished cast bronze and aged, and the slightly larger Voyager style pips were cast tin with a spray of gold and a bit of black. It is also likely that the Next Generation pips were about 8mm x 3mm, and later in Voyager, the pips got a bit taller at 8mm x 4mm. Custom sizes may also be available upon request.

Magnet Strength:
We use rare earth neodymium N48 or N52 grade magnets which are stronger than your standard kitchen magnet. The N48's should be a strong enough hold even if your costumes are made of a thicker fabric or if you're planning on any action-packed away missions. Other magnet strengths may be available upon request.

Unpainted Option:
If you prefer DIY, an unpainted set is also available and usually ships the next day if you are in a hurry. They are printed in a gold PLA, and the print lines are slightly visible. They are nicer and shinier than in the picture (I need to update those!). The half pip will be left unpainted in case you'd like to paint the set yourself (unless requested otherwise).

This is our own design and best attempt at a screen accurate reproduction!

Approx. Dimensions:
