Parametric Text + SVG Base - Fully Customizable

A small parametric text-on-top-of-SVG plate for 3D printing, written in OpenSCAD.
Both the SVG icon and the text start at Z=0 (build plate). The text extrudes higher than the SVG, so it stands out nicely.

Features

• Text and SVG start from the build plate (no floating).
• Text height and SVG height are independent.
• SVG can be anchored to the text box (C, N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW).
• Optional offset for precise placement.
• Aspect ratio preserved via “fit by width/height”.
• Clean, readable, fully commented code.

How to use

• Replace svg_path with your own SVG (convert any shapes to paths for best results).
• Set text_str, text_size, text_thickness, font_name.
• Choose icon_fit = "width" or "height" to avoid squashing (recommended).
• Use svg_anchor and svg_offset to position the SVG relative to the text box.
• (Optional) If you know your exact text bounding box, set text_box_override = [width, height] for perfect anchoring.

Print tips

• 0.2 mm layer height works well; drop to 0.12–0.16 mm for crisp text edges.
• If your text is thin/italic, increase wall count or text_thickness for strength.
• PLA or PETG both fine. For a two-tone look, pause and filament-swap before the text starts (Z ≈ svg_thickness).
