Bash Script and OpenSCAD model to generate a bunch of STLs with “nametags” and holes for magnets, based on a list of strings in the bash script.
We use this at work with a magnetic whiteboard for our Darts ranking list with people's acronyms on the tags :)
Requires:
- Filament
- 2x Magnets: 10x2mm (generated holes are adjustable in the scad model; mine were press-fit but I secured them with some super glue too; adjust measurements in the .scad file as needed!)
To use:
- Install OpenSCAD
- Download (and unpack) all files of this “model”
- Rename “generate_nametags.txt” to “generate_nametags.sh”
- (Maybe needed on Linux, wasn't needed on Windows:) Make this file executable via “chmod +x generate_nametags.sh”
- Adjust the OPENSCAD variable to your OpenSCAD installation & the “NAMES” array in this file to include the strings you want on the tags; note the comment!
- Adjust the “nametag.scad” file with the sizes to your needs.
- Execute the shell script via “sh generate_nametags.sh” (under Windows, use WSL, Mingw's MSYS, Git Bash or similar - not the regular terminal/cmd)
- Enjoy your STLs, named by the strings you've defined in the “NAMES” array" and print them !
Print settings (with default .scad model):
- Material: any?
- Enabled “Set auto color changes” (that's what it's called in Prusa Slicer at least)
- Resolution: 0.20 mm
- Infill: any
