Number Plate Light Shield
2007 Ford Focus MK2
Description
This is a replacement shield for the number plate light for at least a Ford Focus of year 2007. When the maintenance guy lost the shield for the second time when replacing the apparently broken light, I grew less of buying an entire new light assembly. I took a look at the remaining one, and made a replacement part. (Without the shield, light shines up into the door, and up through the rear window which is annoying when driving in the dark) I have done multiple successful prints in ABS with 0.2 mm layers and 0.4 mm nozzle. Supports is a must, and I recommend some darker tone of plastic as it's there to shield the light... I wouldn't recommend PLA or other more temperature sensitive materials as it's to be used in a car, and near a heat source in form of the light bulb.
