License Plate Cover - Hiking Themed

thingiverse

If you want to personalize your car with a little touch of the outdoors, this license plate cover is just what you need! It's designed to bring a piece of nature to the streets. The full cover is too big for most print beds, so it's split into two pieces that snap together easily. This means you can print it in multi-colour without any upgrades, using a single nozzle - no multi-material or Palette Pro required! I've uploaded the .GCODE files for PLA and PETG, which you can use directly or download all the .STL files to slice them yourself. PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS: This design is meant to be printed with the First Layer Inlay method, which works with any printer without needing upgrades. Watch this YouTube video from Make Anything to see how it's done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV2AjyowXX4&t=1041s Or read this article by Alex Whittemore for more details: https://www.alexwhittemore.com/first-layer-multi-material-on-an-unmodified-single-extruder-printer/ I've also uploaded the .GCODE files for PLA and PETG, so you can use them directly or download all the .STL files to slice them yourself. SLICING INSTRUCTIONS: Bring all the .STL files into your preferred slicer and lay them down. Make sure the thin pieces line up exactly with the main body pieces. Then, delete the main pieces and save only the thin pieces as one .GCODE file. Save an additional .GCODE file with just the thick main body pieces. Next, print the thin pieces first. When that's done, don't remove them from the print bed. Swap to a different filament colour and select the thick pieces file to print over top of the thin ones. If everything is lined up properly, the thin pieces will fit snugly into the small holes in the main thick pieces, creating a seamless colourful layer.
