Art Project Frame 12x16

I'm still working on the final product, but this is a large 12x16 frame I made for a particular art project that will be sandwiched between plexiglass and lit up with RGB LED lighting. I'll post some pictures of the finished piece. I used the Tinkercad codeblocks from the Drink Coaster Edge-lit Display to make the frame. The frame edge thickness is about 1.25 inches and the depth I needed on the inside of the frame was 14mm. I then took the model and stretched it out to the height and width so it would fit a 12x16 piece. I had to cut it so it would fit on the printer and I made joining pieces so that when it was glued back together it would have more strength. I also added screw holes to screw the two halves of the frame together. The "tenon connectors" have to be sized so they fit. I posted the settings I used in a .txt file which turned out to have a little too big of a gap on the ends. I printed with Duramic PLA+ and for gluing I used SCIGRIP 16 acrylic glue which for a large piece like this is much better than super glue.
