I made a 3D-printable license plate holder for 1UP racks!

You can get the model [here](https://www.printables.com/model/982582-tilting-license-plate-holder-for-1up-bike-rack)!

The 1UP rack is great, but it completely obscured my license plate. They make a holder, but after conversion and shipping it comes out to ~$125 CAD for the basic model. Instead, I made my own with 3D printing and some basic hardware. Let me know what you think (:

But… why?

Does it automagically put the license plate back on the car when you take the rack off?

I like the rack obscuring my plate. Then I don’t have to pay tolls 😂

Nice work. The folding mechanism is a nice touch. Maybe a 1.1 that holds the plate perpendicular to the ground when the rack is extended rather than perpendicular to the rack.

Slicker than owl shit on a glass doorknob.

I like it man. However in 5 years of driving around with my plate blocked by my 1up, I have yet to be pulled over.

I’m pretty sure cops realize that mountain bikers are boring law abiding citizens lol. If I was a drug dealer I would absolutely drive a Subaru Forester with a bike rack. Maybe a Patagonia bumper sticker or something

Well done. Looks super quality.

But i am totally fine with my plate being obscured. This is not something i see as a problem.
