Front License Plate Mounting Bracket that fits 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan

thingiverse

I live in one of those parts of the world that requires a front bumper license plate in addition to the rear. We recently got a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan, and I wanted to mount the license plate in a more dignified way than just screwing the metal plate directly against the front bumper. I couldn't find any official front bumper license plate mounting bracket, though, so I decided to design my own.When I went to print it, I realized that the bed size on my X1C isn't large enough. I decided I'd make a prototype and make sure it fit, and then I could go to a local printing provider with a larger bed and get it done as a single piece (perhaps in ABS, too). So, I chopped it into 4 even parts and laid them on edge on the bed. They printed perfectly on the first try (with skirts), so I superglued them together and sanded them a bit to help remove the skirts, then went to check, and it fit the bumper perfectly on the first try! After putting the license place in, the joins became almost invisible, so I decided what the heck, and installed it as-is. If it breaks apart in the future, I can always get it printed as a single piece of ABS at that point, or what have you. :-)I mounted it by drilling 1/8" holes through each of the holes in the license place, through the adapter and into the bumper, then screwing #10 stainless steel screws in with stainless steel washers and rubber washers.I only have the 2011 Grand Caravan to test with, but it's quite possible that this will fit other years and possibly other models as well.
