Picture Frames 16x20 12x18 12x16 11x14 8x12 8x10

I designed these frames because my wife purchased some 12x16 inch pictures for our baby room. There are good offerings on amazon to accommodate these sizes but I decided to search for some different options on MakerWorld. Eventually I came to the conclusion that most oversized 3d printed frames had glaring joints that would not pass inspection from my wife. So I have come up with a solution with minimal joint visibility. It also passes inspection from my boss!

I put together the option to print off a few common sizes:

NOTE: 16x20 6mm Wider has extra seems. A few of them will require superglue. This frame may benefit from adding a small amount of glue in each seem since there are more of them on this frame.

Each piece slides into the next with a snug friction fit. Once your picture is in place and your cardboard is backing the picture, you use the corner and side/top clips to secure the picture in place. The clips also keep all the joints tight after firmly pressing them into place. 

Before pressing the frame together make sure to clean THIS surface from support material. I use a flat blade screw driver.

They are hung using the shapes cut out from the side/top clips. There are two options: V cut and Saw Tooth. In my example photos I used the V cut. Once they were all hung I used a small piece of double sided tape at the bottom of each frame to ensure they were level and straight. The hanging clips can be used on the top or side for Landscape or Portrait orientation.

The standard clips leave a gap of 2.5mm. Most standard cardboard is about 3mm. When the clips are pressed into place they squeeze the cardboard against the picture and frame to secure the picture in place.
