wow, exporting shapes OUT of kicad is not easy.
I can generate a VRML of my board in 3D, but I can't turn some silkscreen drawings into an SVG? or anything I can easily turn into an SVG?
like both programs can import a DXF, which is presumably where I got this silkscreen drawing, but I can't export it back out
I can export it as an STL, and then 3D print it, but not as an SVG/PDF to 2D print
oh hey, fusion 360 can import the STL, but it won't export it as a DXF unless I upgrade off the personal non-commercial version.
this let me turn the gerbers into SVG:

oh god it's got native SVG, I'm a fool:

yeah I could find the original public domain SVG I based this design on 6 years ago, OR I could just export it out of KiCAD!
feel free to yell at me for the inconsistent floppy orientation between my logo and my avatar/profile/icon.
the conversion has some interesting side effects. like how there are no curves, just 40 tiny straight lines overlapping each other
thinking about making a bunch of bad variations of my logo and making my labels randomly cycle through them. so like 90% correct logo, 10% various bad logos variants
