The motorcycle picture frame is finally complete. The project was centered around the electronics, and designed with our motorcycles in mind. The stage is set, and pictures are cycling through the TFT display.

Motorcycle Picture Frame

Main Stage

I was still new to 3D printing, and the design could use some calibration, but overall, the design came out well. The pictures cycle through the TFT display, and the OLED displays the text for our time together.

 

Jumbotron

The TFT displays pictures in landscape, but if the picture was rotated from portrait, I filled the borders in black. The last line of text is hidden on the OLED display; it says DAYS!. As of September 29, 2019, we’ve been together for 1169 days. The text in yellow is static, and will always remain the same. The text in blue is mostly the same, with the exception of when it’s an anniversary or monthiversary.

 

Performers

We both have identical 2017 Yamaha R6 motorcycles, except hers is the white model, and mine is black. I removed the stickers to further black out the motorcycle. I got the motorcycle design from a motorcycle keychain on Thingiverse, with the edit of closing the keychain loop in the tail. The riders came from a combination of a motorcycle helmet on Thingiverse, and my own design for the body. The riders and motorcycles are glued to the base.

 

Back Stage

The power source is on the left, and connects directly into a wall outlet. The microSD card is accessible through the back, and held in place by its enclosure in the rear compartment. The top door has a hole in the center to secure with a screw. It’s also a thin print, and I chose the wrong print design, which is causing the corners to warp upward. Still, it’s a good print, and does what it needs.
