Firefly License Plate Frame

thingiverse

This is a custom US-sized auto license plate frame inspired by Firefly-themed designs found on this site. The frame consists of two halves, a front and rear section, printed separately. The rear half is made from two pieces joined together at their edges as shown in the image. To assemble the frame, attach the top, sides, and bottom sections to the rear half, creating a strong structure. A special acrylic glue was used for assembly, which helps bond the parts together firmly. Before the glue dries, clamp the parts to press them flat and ensure proper adhesion. The frame's thickness is adjustable in 0.5 mm increments, requiring 0.25 mm thick layers for optimal construction. For colored elements, print black text first, followed by white fill-in colors. The front top section features raised edges around the text, which were colored red to enhance visibility. PETG material was chosen for its durability and resistance to sun and rain exposure.
