Apartment Number Plate Customizable OPENSCAD

Apartment Number Plate Customizable OPENSCAD 

This OpenSCAD script generates a customizable apartment number plate with the following features:

1. Base Plate
   
   
   • Rectangular or square plate with rounded corners.
     
      
   • Thickness, width, height, and corner radius are customizable.
     
      
2. Embossed Apartment Number
   
   
   • Customizable font, size, and extrusion height.
     
      
   • Centered automatically on the plate.
     
      
3. Optional Embossed Border
   
   
   • Thin raised line border around the plate.
     
      
   • Fully customizable: toggle on/off, thickness, width, distance from plate edge, and corner radius.
     
      
4. Optional Embossed Frame
   
   
   • Another raised frame line around the plate.
     
      
   • Fully customizable: toggle on/off, thickness, width, distance from edge, and corner radius.
     
      
5. Rounded Corners
   
   
   • Both border and frame can have rounded corners to match the plate, giving a professional 3D-print-ready appearance.
     
      

How to Use the Script

1. Open OpenSCAD

• Make sure you have OpenSCAD installed (https://www.openscad.org).
  
   
• Open a new file and paste the full script.
  
   

2. Set Your Apartment Number

apartment_number = "3F"; // Replace with your number

3. Adjust Plate Settings

plate_width = 40;      // Width of the plate

plate_height = 25;     // Height of the plate

plate_thickness = 3;   // Thickness of the plate

corner_radius = 3;     // Rounded corner radius

4. Adjust Text Settings

font_choice = "Arial:style=Bold"; // Font type

text_size = 12;                   // Text height

text_thickness = 2;               // Text extrusion

5. Optional Border Settings

enable_border = true;        // Set false to remove border

border_thickness = 1;        // Height of border above plate

border_offset = 1.5;         // Distance from plate edge

border_width = 0.8;          // Thickness of border line

border_corner_radius = 2;    // Rounded corners of border

6. Optional Frame Settings

enable_frame = true;         // Set false to remove frame

frame_thickness = 1;         // Height of frame above plate

frame_offset = 0.5;          // Distance from plate edge

frame_width = 2;             // Thickness of frame line

frame_corner_radius = 2;     // Rounded corners of frame

7. Render the Model

• Press F5 to preview.
  
   
• Press F6 to perform a full render.
  
   

8. Export for 3D Printing

• After rendering, go to File → Export → Export as STL.
  
   
• Use the STL file for 3D printing.
  
   

Notes

• The border and frame are independent; you can enable either or both.
  
   
• All dimensions are fully parametric, so you can scale for different sizes of plates.
  
   
• Corner radius should be smaller than half of plate height/width to avoid geometry errors.
