Wifi QR Code with Custom QR Code - Update 2023

Update #1: I updated the models to work better with the new method, and add new stand model.

I tried to make the description and the solution in such a way that it could be done easily, without  special program, and knowledge.

Color printing is easy with Z layer height change.

The model is similar in width and rounding to the spotify code models found here: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/62809-spotify-code-wall-ornament-with-custom-code , and they look good together.

New Method:

Required PrusaSlicer 2.7.0-alpha1 or later
A thousand thanks to Prusa Team and Community that since 2.7 version we can easily use svgs in the slicer as modifiers, negative volume, etc., a very useful function.
