Instead of trying to attach a solid plastic piece to your shirt, why not just use a CAD program to make a negative of the image so that you can use it to stencil print your tshirt?

Every sewing shop should sell it, if not in your neighborhood, let me know. Btw, the other file is a 2D file FYI and can be used with a vinyl cutter. A few fablabs have one or more of these machines. Make use of the special type of vinyl that is fusible on fabrics either. No fuss with vlieseline, just be careful with the iron. The trick is to stick it first by tilting the iron and put it down on another spot, rather than moving it until it sticks enough before the logo is misplaced. A fablab in Amsterdam called ZB45 has a special heating machine for this purpose. Maybe it will work with a heated printbed also. What about out of the box thinking:-D

I've tried that and it is not a succes though:-( You have to iron a second layer on the backside of the T-shirt that's called "vlieseline" in Dutch. It is a white thin fusible interfacing that makes the pliable fabric stiff. When you're done, you can remove the layer by carefully heating it again with an iron while pulling.
When done on a light color you can see ugly dark spots beside the pla. And you have to limit the layers as much as possible, no brim off course, only 100% cotton and a lot of guts:-)
The soft pla doesn't work at all on a dark fabric. Once there was a kind of fluffy stuff applicable on textile that became fluffy when heated, but whit the soft pla only the outside is rough and that doesnt look nice. Besides that, the word Ultimaker isn't readable.

The event has been ok, even without the shirts:-) No problem at all. I wanted to make a stamp with the logo and all of the available logo's were to small. Thanks for the file. I hope to show you the results soon. 3D fever keeps changing plans every now and then.
Did the chocolate answers to its reputation?-)
