Mortal Kombat Picture Frame

I recently attended the Midwestern Gaming Classic and it was a really great experience. While I was there, I came across a father/son duo, Artovision, that made really cool shadowbox art of classic games and Americana. I picked up a Mortal Kombat scene and decided to make a custom frame for it. This frame currently fits a 6in x 4.5in x.75in piece of art. There are a ton of guides on this site on how to make your own shadow box art so maybe this will strike a stroke of inspiration. You can use my file to scale accordingly and as a template for whatever. Features of this frame:
- Inscribed FATALITY on top part of frame and TOASTY! on bottom part
- Mortal Kombat dragon symbols on each side
- Two holes for nails for hanging
- One piece - artwork fits very snugly into the frame and is flat against the wall
Chose red because it's a primary color in the MK palette (including the abundance of blood from an uppercut)
Supplies
- 3D Printer (I use an AnyCubic i3 Mega)
- Red PLA filament
- 2 small nails
- Small level
- Hammer

I used the following settings for the attached .stl in Cura for the print:
- Layer Height: .2
- Infill: 20%
- No Support
I would lay it flat, picture display down towards the print bed. Attached is the .obj file (.zip) for mods.
Hang It!

There are two holes in the back of the frame for hanging.I used two small nails from a picture hanging kit. Make sure you level it!
