MOTD Planter Template 01 - Make it your own

This blank version of "Message of the day" planters is great for applying your own messages with Prusa Slicer 2.6 (alpha)

One of the great new features of Prusaslicer 2.6 is that you can project text yourself. This little theme was originally created to show " Message of the Day" and of course you can use it for that too. However, it is also fun to load figurative character sets and to project the figures. 

If you want to project something like I did in the floral example the keys 3, 4, 5, and 6 are useful, because they show you the front, back, left and right side of the object. 1 and two will switch to top and bottom view.

Projecting things is really easy. Use the keys 3, 4, 5 or 6 and follow the steps in the video.

I used this fonts https://www.fontspace.com/search?q=floralia

The slicer "uses projection to surface" and not “wrapping” so you cannot use a long string and you cannot wrap completely around an object. It can only project to what's currently visible and the outer sides will be heavily distorted. If you do use long strings it will look like this:

Have fun making them your own.
