Tesla Reserved Parking Sign Art

thingiverse

This is another rehash of my Tesla Wall Sign in my Garage. As the old one was getting old, I decided to print another one in multiple colors. You can pick any color that suits you, but for the Tesla sign I used a solid white base and a Fire Engine Red Face. The Reserved Parking sign was white body with a Black cover. The combination worked well for me. Always print the covers facedown on the bed. You may need to rotate it 180 to do so. For choice of materials, I stuck with eSUN PLA+ just for ease of printing on clean mirror which generates a mirror smooth finish without any need for varnish or lacquer. If your bed is level and your printer is in good shape, the entire printout will be ready to use immediately without any touchups. If you print on a mirror, level before your start, thoroughly clean the mirror with rubbing alcohol, remove all dust, as for me, this seems to prevent corners from lifting up. If you have trouble with this part, then you need to spend more time calibrating your printer and print bed. Because the Tesla Sign Face is big, on a 220x220 bed, don't use any brim or support, use a skirt if you want to clean the nozzle. If you prewarm everything and manually clean the nozzle before you start printing, you may not even need a skirt.
