License Plate Frame: This Car Powered by SCIENCE!

Printing instructions: -Use with a single extruder printer. -My method is to print with the text-side facing down so that the surface finish is defined by the build surface and so support is not needed for the recess for the license plate. The STL file should import in the correct orientation. -Start with black (or another color of your choice) and splice in white (or another color of your choice) after at least two layers have printed in black but before the letters start bridging. After the letters bridge in the new color, wait a few more layers before switching back to black, or just let it finish the print in white if that's your preference. You know: Standard bi-material printing stuff. -Be sure that your bridging settings are set so that the letters all bridge correctly. In Simplify3D I had to reduce the "unsupported area threshold" to 15 sq. mm.
