A friend asked me to print some name plates for his apartment building's mailboxes. I'm writing these instructions for myself, in case I need to print more later. You can use this model to make different sized signs with text – just modify the parameters. I have provided three examples.
Customize
You can customize these plates to any size, text &/or font:
download the openscad file
modify the parameters
render a new design
export the STL
I used the following settings in PrusaSlicer.
Print settings: 0.20mm STRUCTURAL
Nozzle: HF0.4 nozzle
Infill: 100%
Layers and perimeters:
Layer height: 0.2mm
First layer: 0.2mm
Solid layers: 3 top and bottom
Minimum shell thickness: 0.6mm top and bottom
Infill:
Fill density: 100%
Fill pattern: Rectilinear
Top fill pattern: Monotonic lines
Add a color change at the depth of the text.
Other
Tested on Prusa MK4S, in Prusament PETG.
Model is available on Github, Printables, Thingiverse and Makerworld.
Feel free to ask questions.
