UPDATE: I have added a one piece frame lock STL and  3MF for people who have thinner prints. You should not need the square lock for any of my prints, but many people have prints that are fairly thin and this helps support all sides. You only need one of the two lock types per framed painting.

The Ultimate frame you say? Probably. This frame is completely custom designed to hold most 200x200 Hueforge prints of varying depths. It should hold prints up to 6mm, which is far deeper than most prints. The frame locks have a nice tight fit to hold the prints of varying depths. This model is completely designed by me for the purpose of retailing my Hueforge prints and is strictly for personal use. If you would like to resell this model reach out to me and license it. 

 

This frame will perfectly fit all models I upload, and the vast majority of 200x200mm prints that others have shared. The hanger cutout is made so that prints with lob sided weight can be adjusted by using the teeth to easily level it. The frame is printed face down for a nice finish. Your plate type will determine the type of finish on the front side of the frame. I have used the gold textured plate that comes with the P1S in the attached photos. 

 

PRINT and ASSEMBLY:

 

No supports needed. 0.16 Optimal layer height has provided the cleanest prints, especially the sides of the frame. 

Print both plates (3MF). 1 frame and two locks. (Or 1 of each STL)

Installation:

Place the frame face down on a surface that will not scratch it. 

Orient your print face down so that the top aligns with the wall hanger cutout and insert it into the frame. 

Insert one frame lock at a time and make sure you are pushing both ends in evenly. If you try to push one side at a time it will bind up. If you push one side in too far compared to the opposite side just flip it over and push it back out and retry until it is in properly. It is a simple process and everyone that does not require a caution label on their coffee should breeze through it. 

 

Note: My Hueforge prints have a decent thickness and fit this frame nicely. If people have thin flimsy prints and request it I can make a square one piece lock that supports all sides of the print if needed. If a print is too flimsy to stand on its own without bowing, this may be necessary. I haven't run into this issue, but foresee it may be a problem for people that make extra thin prints. Just leave a message in the comments and I will design it and add it as a third optional plate.
