DS9 and Voyager Communicator Badge for Starfleet Cosplay
This fan-made communicator badge is designed for Starfleet uniforms inspired by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. The same gold-and-silver communicator design appeared across both series, making it suitable for command, operations, sciences and medical division uniforms.
The badge is produced from 3D-printed photopolymer resin and finished with matte metallic gold and silver paint. Its softer, less reflective surface is designed to closely recreate the painted-resin appearance seen on screen.
Why Choose a Matte Resin Combadge?
Many collectible badges use highly polished or reflective metal finishes. This version uses painted resin to create a more subdued appearance under normal room lighting, convention lighting and photography. The result looks natural on a DS9 or Voyager-era uniform without an excessively shiny, mirror-like surface.
- Matte gold-and-silver painted finish
- Full-size costume proportions
- Lightweight resin construction
- Suitable for cosplay, conventions, photography and display
- Compatible with DS9 and Voyager-era Starfleet uniform styles
Magnetic Attachment Without a Pin
The set includes a front communicator badge and a separate magnetic backing piece. Place the badge on the outside of the uniform and position the magnetic back behind the fabric. This avoids pushing a traditional pin through the costume material.
Magnetic holding strength may vary depending on the thickness, number of layers and construction of the costume fabric. Remove the badge before washing or storing the uniform.
