Ford Focus number plate light shield

thingiverse

This is a replacement shield for a Ford Focus number plate light from at least 2007.\r\n\r\nWhen I lost the shield for the second time while replacing the apparently broken light, I decided against buying an entire new light assembly. I took a look at the remaining one and created a replacement part. Without the shield, the light shines up into the door and through the rear window, which is annoying when driving in the dark.\r\n\r\nI have successfully printed multiple replacements in ABS with 0.2 mm layers and a 0.4 mm nozzle. Supports are essential, and I recommend using a darker tone of plastic as it's designed to shield the light...\r\n\r\nI do not suggest using PLA or other temperature-sensitive materials because they will be exposed to heat from the light bulb in a car.
