Per Boort's recommendation I uploaded the STL to Craftcloud and just ordered 4 plate frames in 4 different materials (around the $10-20 range per print). Will probably take 2-3 weeks to receive. Once I receive them i'll share which materials came out best.

A few of you have contacted me for the file which I'm happy to share.

Hope everybody is having a great weekend.

cheers,

Wow! Both the stealth version and color fill look good but I’d prefer no color for longevity (less to go wrong)

Thoughts on the plates reaction to sun? I’d hate for it to fade and go brittle over time.

If this turns into a group print/buy, I’d shell out for one. Sub’d.

Hi Josh,

I received a couple of them and they do not meet the quality of the one I had Shapeways do (that is now on my wife's 4runner). In fact, I would consider them to be acceptable prints... there's some stringing and inconsistency.. Look cheaper, etc.

Perhaps I contact Shapeways to have them print a handful up and go from there. Adding quantity/volume to a purchase doesn't normally bring down costs with 3d printing, but perhaps we can save on some shipping, lol.

I've emailed the file to a handful of members here. Anybody come up with some good prints? Perhaps those people might be willing to print / sell to us. Keep the $ circulating in this community so-to-speak.

That looks great, and I would buy one. But isn’t Toyota going to have something to say about this?

I suppose they could. Perhaps we just keep it as a file to share in the community...and we advertise it as our "YOTOTA"plate frame.. Perhaps I actually have one printed like that and upload a picture. Of course, when members email me for the file it's entirely possible that I might accidentally not send the the Yotota file ?

I think you lost that file in an off-roading accident right?! ;)

Once I get my hands on the file (sent you an email) I can try out other shops/materials and post the results. If others are willing to do this too we can all figure out the best material and quality.

LOL!!

Entirely possible as I suck at off-roading. As long as I look good while we're doing it though.

Hopefully by now you've got the file. May the force be with you!

Hey there,

I was wondering if this is for sale? If so, where would I be able to purchase the item?
I found this while scavenging through the web and it looks awesome!

Thanks!

Hi Khoality,

Based on my experience the best place to have it 3d-printed would be ShapeWays in their 'Black Natural Versatile Plastic'. Important to note this is just for the plate, does not include the colored vinyl Toyota Motorsport stripes.

So far I've received 4 prints from 4 different 3d printing outfits. The only acceptable one in my opinion was from ShapeWays. Maybe other members who I've sent the file to have had better luck themselves?

Let me know if you'd like for me to send you the file. If you want the colored stripes it might be best for me to do that? I have the vinyl here and it might be a PITA for you to drive around and handle all that...

Hello RooRunner,

So you actually don't make and sell the frame? I just haven't any experience with printing, total rookie here, so I was just looking to purchase it from you thinking you'd make them available for purchase!

If possible, I would love to receive the file. I think the most I can do would be to stare at it. I'm totally in love of what you've done here!!

Hopefully other members come by my comment and will reach out if they have it available to purchase.

Best!

Sorry for the delayed response, literally just walked in the door after a long nearly 2 week road trip.

Ready to send you the file. Let me know your email address. If you want me to create the plate frame (via ShapeWays..and then overlay the vinyl), I'm happy to do so for you. Regardless, just email me: [email protected]

Talk soon and again, sorry for the delay.

Car is super dirty, but I'm really digging the new license plate frame. Also realized my rear license plate bolts were rusting pretty badly so I took care of that too Thanks Terry!
