Comic Book Frame for 8" printer (123D source included)

thingiverse

A printable comic book frame for American comics that conform to standard size, comes equipped with a 3mm lip around the edge to hold in a piece of glass without obstructing the art and holes on the inside walls for toothpicks or paperclips as retainers. Instructions for assembly are available. To begin, position the build platform at a 45-degree angle to accommodate a 200mm area. The 123D Design file is included for those who wish to split the frame into smaller components. The first print consists of two halves that together weigh over 100g each. For optimal results, 25% infill is recommended, though lower infill may compromise surface quality at joints. Test prints are welcomed to report back on outcomes. Assemble the frame with your preferred adhesive and apply pressure using clamps to ensure a square orientation. A piece of glass from the local hardware store is required. It's advised to discuss the correct dimensions - 6 5/8" by 10 1/4" - with the person cutting it, as this specification might be marginally too large for ideal placement. With the frame facing downwards, insert a sheet of glass, your chosen comic book, and a layer of corrugated fiberboard. For stability, drive paperclips or toothpicks into the retaining tabs; they won't be visible anyway.
