Still on my to do. It got backlogged behind another project of mine. I did pick up a new printer that can do multicolor, so I am definitely interested in taking a crack at this!
Smart idea. I’d print that up if I didn’t install my FCSP in the garage. I am going to print the weather cover though that someone else posted, now that I have a printer with a larger build plate. Lots of Florida rain in the summer!Buddy of mine did this for me
Nice! Do you have a link to the model?I did this PETG license plate frame in 2 pieces on my Prusa Mk3. It seems to be holding up well after about 9 months.
Yes, the model is out on printables.com. I added a STEP file for those that can/want to modify it. https://www.printables.com/model/920192-amped-up-ford-lightning-license-plate-frame
How'd it come out? I need to wait for my printer to free up to try and print this I am not sure I have the right colors in the same materials at the moment.
Think I need to add another layer to the blue, as I can still see some black behind it, but it came out pretty nice!How'd it come out? I need to wait for my printer to free up to try and print this I am not sure I have the right colors in the same materials at the moment.
Agree to a point. Depends how much sun exposure it gets. The first print that I started this thread with, my daughter wanted me to hang off the rear view mirror. We converted it to an air freshener by adding a holder for some brand of car air freshener. Anyway, it has been up for a little over a week and it has warped. I wasn’t too worried about it, as it was a small easy print, but that is to say it all depends on sun exposure. My MagSafe charger in the cubby is still holding up just fine in PLA, on the other hand, as not much sun gets down there. I am in Florida, mind you. I do most my prototypes in PLA, then print the final later in ASA if I am worried about sun or humidity exposure.
This is pretty cool and I'm going to give this a shot. However, I'm more interested in how you did the ford emblem. That's a pretty close color match!
These are just vinyl stickers I ordered from Etsy. I did contact the seller to modify it slightly. You can pick text and background, normally the oval around the text is the same color as the text. I requested lightning blue text, matte black background, and gloss black for the oval. It is a bit tricky to put on, but the defects are only noticeable close up.
That's pretty awesome. How close is the blue to the blue in word 'lightning' on the side (picton blue)? I'm kind of a stickler for consistency.....
