Went to the barber shop today. Got a nice talk and, surprisingly, my first “contract” to 3D print something. So, I spent the last hour reading about QR codes, versions and patterns and rescue data to embed an image in the centre of the code. Then it took me some time to convert it from a PNG to an SVG to an STL, so I can put it into Tinkercad to design the new plate. I now have a baseplate, a backplate with the QRCode & two smaller plates which I have to glue into placeholders on the backplate.
