Customizable License Plate Cover

thingiverse

This is the second license plate cover I'm posting. What makes this different? A couple things. 1. The other license plate cover is printable in 2 pieces incase you don't have a large enough print bed to print in a single piece. 2. This one has the screws go through the text plate as well as the cover to mount. A couple other notes. In order to make the plates stay in place, along with screws going through them, they have a little notch that slides into the cover. With the old design, you had to glue the text plates onto the cover. With this one you can actually print as many different text plates as you like and swap them out at your leisure (simply unscrew the old, slip in the new and screw them back on). Additionally, most cars have a place to screw in the top screws, but not bottom, so I made the bottom holes small enough that the screw threads will cut into the plastic and screw the text plate to the cover. I printed everything at 100% fill (because it's going to be out in the weather). I also included the DesignSpark Mechanical file so you can easily create your own text plates. If you're not sure how to create 3D text in DesignSpark Mechanical, check out Youtube, there are a few different videos that show how. Note: to make the text black, I simply change the filament color as it get's to printing the text.
