Parametric license plate generator

I needed a name license plate for a photo shoot and realized there's not a good one to be found … so here it is. Also works for placing on your dashboard, trucker style!

Made in OpenSCAD, requires the great BOSL2 library.

Plate parameters:

• plate_width, plate_heightand plate_thickness are the plate dimensions
• border set to 1 if you want the raised border, set to 0 if not.

Magnets:

• generate_magnets if you want magnet holes, set it to 1; 0 otherwise
• magnet_width, magnet_height are the magnet size (same parameter for circle or square magnets)
• magnet_type is 1 for round magnets, 0 for square magnets
• magnet_number is how many magnets to place on a row
• tolerance is 0.1 mm by default, to avoid having to push the magnets too hard

Text:

• text_font is the typeface; EU license plate font is DIN 1451 Mittelschrift, get it from here for example
• text_size defaults to 0.66 of the plate height
• text_height is the millimeters to raise the text from the license plate (same height as the border)
• text_text is the actual text

But the license plate is too big and won't fit on my printer bed! you'll say. Absolutely, that's why you can cut the model (even add nice connectors for easy fitting, if you want) as this helpful article describes.
