👓 Glasses - customizable texts - interchangeable see-through lenses - with your infill patterns

Info:

• glasses with customizable texts & customizable see-through lens patterns
• lenses are:
  • interchangable
  • you can print your own pattern using different infill pattern and percentage (see 3mf samples)
• customizable texts:
  • i prepared 3mf files with some texts, but you can use your own text without any 3D software (see below) just generate text and put it into slicer!

Custom texts howto:

• you can easily use some text2STL generator like: https://text2stl.mestres.fr/en-us/generator where you can pick Font (even your own), write text and generate STL
• when you have it, see lenses 3mf file - locate “TEXT” object and replace inside “Groom.stl” or any other STL, right click and choose your STL file with text
• you can position the text, rotate it, as you like
  • in the Z axis: scale it up, so it has count of layers (with different color above lens itself) of your choice (i.e. 3 layers)
  • if some letter is unluckily in the middle, you can split text STL into separate objects - letters - and position each manually
• don't forget on color change, if it disappeared
• note: inside is used STL with negative object to the lenses, so overlapping texts are not printed

Print instructions:

• glasses body + temples:
  • recommending PETG for flexibility (you know how many glasses you broke right?)
    • flexibility is important to be able to insert lenses
  • increased infill - like 40% and more
  • 3 perimeters
  • temples:
    • test the length first to choose the right that fits your head (I think most people will go with M-L (female) and XL (male)) - for me are great XL temples
    • use mirror in slicer to print the other one to the pair
  • Note: if you have stringify problem, it may look ugly after printed, but after strings removal it should be OK (also there may be ugly artifacts, because of long travels from one side to the other (temple holders), but those tiny parts should be easily removed as well after printing)
• lenses:
  • PLA can be used
  • see 3mf file
  • 0 top and bottom layers
  • choose your infill pattern and infill percentage for different look
  • generate different text and replace it in 3mf, scale it, rotate it etc. it can overlap, negative object will hide what is overlapping 

Assembly:

• use short 1.75 filament piece and insert it into hinge
  • if filament is too loose, you can increase both ends sizes for example with putting something hot on to it, so it melts partially and creates larger heads
  • or glue one end to the hinge
• insert lenses
  • it should be little tight to insert (so glasses holds them nicely)
    • some patterns will fit more easily, others may be very tight (like honeycomb)
    • but the glasses body should be PETG, so little bit flexible

Font info:

• in given text2STL web util, I have used some of these fonts for example:
  • Bride: Handwriting - Mr Dafoe
  • Groom: Sans serif - Black Han sans
  • Nevěsta: Handwriting - Sedgwick Ave
