Description
Can you believe that the picture frame in the image is only 2 layers high?
It really is!
You can print it flat on your printed and then fold it in a couple of seconds to get a nice, solid picture frame.
Being so thin it prints really fast, really cheap and is really light!
It is so light you can stick it to your fridge with a tiny magnet or some double sided tape and you can print a ton of them!
Printing is super easy: choose the model you prefer from the download list or create your custom one using the .f3d file and the guide below.
Use the coarse profile to speed the print up and make sure that the “first layer height” is set to 0.2mm.
Edit: It might be better to bend the tabs downwards (only the tabs), it is a bit more difficult to insert them but it looks like they stay in place better after assembly. Let me know what you think.
If you want to change any parameter of the frame download the .f3d file, go to the “Change parameters” menu and adjust following the notes in the images below. Please beware that changing the parameter too much (specially the one relative to the frame) could break the model.
The only parameters meant to be changed are the one in the “Favourites” section.
To design this model I used the “Sheet metal” feature in Fusion 360 and some basic trigonometry for the frame angles. Check the .f3d file for more details!
Post a comment in the comment section and I will let you know when I update this print
