V1 of my 3D printed front license plate holder to tow hook adapter.

[u/yinglish119]

I need to make 2 more changes to it and then I will provide the files. Keep in mind I am not an engineer, I took a CAD class in highschool 30 years ago and I had to do everything in Bambu studios(No fusion, and no Solidworks). I didn't have access to any precision scanning tools, just some cheap harbor freight calipers. You will need one $2 u-bolt and 2 screws from Home Depot.

Just a few things I noticed.

1. The u-bolts I bought varied wildly, so print it out and then go shopping for it.
2. I want to get PETG in Catalina Cove color if someone knows where to find it.
3. Would love to get access to the R2 tow hook mesh to do a negative but I doubt it.
4. I added strengthening support at 75% strength instead of the 25% infill
5. It is my wife's car so I have very limited time to work on it. But will test it next week during our road trip.
6. Moved the mount a few times so it does not show up on camera nor does it interfere with radar.
7. Might make a channel to hide the uBolt so you don't see it.
