Customizable License Plate Frame

#Customizable License Plate Frame
##Substantial REMIX of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:52757

• Now uses the text() module
• Extended with text_on_OpenSCAD (https://github.com/brodykenrick/text_on_OpenSCAD ) by Brody Kenrick.
• REQUIRES OpenSCAD. Does not work with Thingiverse::Customizer

Improvements:

• This allows use of any font installed at any installed size.
• Added ability to have recessed or raised text at any desired depth or height.
• Horizontal text across the top and bottom as well as vertical text along the sides.
• Added ability to add OpenSCAD compatible symbols near the screw holes.
• Added dovetails/tenons and mortises when printing in split mode so that plate holds together without glue or while glueing.
• Provided offset dialogs to help adjust centering of text to allow better center and minimally split letters
• Added raised text only (no frame) for dual filament printing

Requirements:

• OpenSCAD library: text_on_OpenSCAD
  • https://github.com/brodykenrick/text_on_OpenSCAD
• DejaVu-Sans Condensed TrueTypeFont: needed for the symbol drop down menu
  • https://dejavu-fonts.github.io/
  • you will need this either in your system library or modify the .scad file to include a "use < path/file.ttf>" like command
  • not all fonts support all symbols with vector graphs. You're definitely going to want to play around a bit if you try to get "fancy"

Files:

• License_Plate_Frame_v4.scad : OpenSCAD
• License_Plate_Frame_Texas.stl : Examples of customized frame

Notes:

• To have no text in a particular area, leave text blank or adjust the text depth to be inside the frame. (Blank is better)
• Check OpenSCAD > Help > Fonts List to make sure your favorite fonts

##UPDATES:

• Version 4 : Fixes a extraneous object accidentally left in the SCAD file as well as preventing errors when there is no bottom and not top message.
• Version 5 is coming! Will fix incompatibility with new OpenSCAD version that switched libraries to regular_shapes.scad .
