using concept art question?
So, I am modifying a playstation 2 for fun, was looking all over the net for a design to 3d print a custom case... 3d print heat sinks etc, so I came across this post
And it is perfect, but I wanted to know if I use the concept design even changing a few things, could I get in trouble? Concept designed for consoles made by fans aren't copyrighted to them as they would require permission from the name com0any i.em Sony to use the logo, and they wouldn't allow that, thanks.

Please note it is for personal use, and I fully intend on a segment on it and thanking credits to that group but I am sure people would want the cad files to be posted publicly so others can do it also... and making sure I won't get in trouble for that haha
I can't answer your main question, but I can tell you that intent does not matter. There is no such thing as "personal use".
Apologies for here's a correction the None profit lol. When I said personal, I meant not for profit, but yeah the group I have been unable to reach for permission. Plus I plan to make changes to their design of concept art for mine.
