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.
@carsten any photos on how it turned out?

When I get home, I can share a picture of it, sure. I also want to write blog post about the process. More for myself so i remember but maybe would be nice for others as well. I guess.
Ok, first, I created a small python script to generate a QR code with an image inside. I saved it as a PNG and used https://convertio.co to convert it into an SVG. I then used https://svg2stl.com to convert to SVG into an STL file which I was could import into https://tinkercad.com

After that, I exported each individual part as its own STL file, which I imported into Ultimaker Cura slicer software to print with individual colours.
And this is how it looks when it’s is finished. The text plates have to be glued to template

@carsten That looks cool!
And it works super nice after I found out, that a height of not more than 1mm works best.
