Description
The numbers on my mailbox are starting to fall off due to the weather. So rather then buy new ones, I chose to print them. These numbers are actually the FORTE font and set at 4 inches high. I extruded them 4mm thick for a nice solid piece. the nail/screw holes are modeled in as well.
Instructions
1. Print your numbers as needed.
2. Paint if you want. (make sure you use plastic frendly outdoor paint)
3. Mount using nails or I actually prefer screws so they don't work back out as the temperatures go up and down.
Note: I printed mine in PLA and on a 90+ degree day they did get a little soft. ABS may be the better choice. If you do print a set keep an eye on them for a couple days to make sure they don't get too soft and start to curl.
