Description

Here is a license plate holder for the MX-5 NB FL.
I think it also fits the NB.

There are two ways to mount the holder.
1. By screw through the bumper.
2. By magnet. For this you can glue magnets with a diameter of 15mm and a height of 5mm into the recesses. Then glue the magnets inside the bumper as well. After that the holder should hold by magnet and be removable again. I have not tested this version yet. But I am happy about feedback.

If you want to modify the holder, feel free to do so. For this case I have also uploaded an STP file :)

Material: PLA
Nozzle: 0.4mm
Wall thickness: 2 lines

Print price estimates

Planning prices for one print, not a final quote. Defaults use a size allowance inferred from the part name, not a measured or sliced model. Filament suitability must be confirmed.

FilamentUSD / printApplication notes
PLA$42.50Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors.
PETG$43.50General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review.
ASA$50.00Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry.
ABS$48.00Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions.
TPU$60.50Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials.
Nylon$60.00Moisture, tolerances and application require review.
PA-CF$69.00Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review.
Pricing assumptions and exclusions

USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.

Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.

Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
