Calendar Frame

thingiverse

I found printable calendars at http://www.vertex42.com to be really useful, so I decided to create a frame that would hold them up perfectly. This frame will display a full year's worth of 8 1/2" x 11" monthly calendars without any issues. There is also a slot for an 8.5" x 11" piece of cardboard backing, which makes it easy to write on the calendar. Since my printer has limited print size, the frame sides are made of two pieces that I glued together carefully. I have successfully made frames using ABS and PLA, but I found that HTPLA and PLA provided the best prints with better dimensional stability and less warping. The joints will require some cleanup using files or sandpaper to get them looking perfect. The "cap" is designed to be easily removed for inserting the calendar and the cardboard backing without any hassle.
