03 / WORD WORK
Give your words some weight. Build dimensional lettering for a desk, a door, or your next project.
Letter height uses the font’s capital H as a reference. Descenders and script flourishes can extend beyond it.
This generated model has not been physically test-printed. Inspect fit and thin details in your slicer.

3MF keeps named parts aligned. It does not include filament assignments or printer settings. Choose a file format →
Open the file in your slicer, check the scale and thin details, then choose settings for your printer and material.
FROM PREVIEW TO PRINT
Turn words into solid lettering for labels, signs and small desk projects. Choose a bundled font, enter one or more lines, set an extrusion depth and optionally add a supporting plate. The output is geometry in millimetres. It is not a printer instruction file: you still need to slice the STL or 3MF for your printer and material.
For a label intended to fit an existing space, measure the complete model after choosing the final wording. Letter height is not the overall width, and different fonts have different proportions. Do not rely on resizing the finished file without checking the smallest strokes again. The same reduction that makes a label fit can close a letter counter or weaken a dot. Keep the base plate when you need a single piece for handling, then plan any mounting method separately. This version does not add screw holes, adhesive recesses or a calculated stand automatically. Text geometry and mounting are separate parts of the project. Save the spelling and dimensions alongside the exported file for repeat work.
These are model settings to test, not a validated printer profile. Check the result with your own material, nozzle and slicer.
| Setting | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Letter height | 18 mm | Readable small-sign lettering; actual line width depends on the text. |
| Extrusion depth | 3 mm | Creates raised letters without a very tall model. |
| Base plate | On, 2 mm | Supports separate characters and the dots above letters. |
| Plate margin | 4 mm | Leaves a border around the lettering. |
Enable the base plate if you want a single sign. Without it, disconnected letters are expected.
Increase letter height, try a simpler font or tune the slicer. Do not assume shrinking a large design preserves its smallest details.
Yes. Use line breaks in the text field and choose the alignment.
This version offers the bundled font choices. Custom font uploads are not supported.
Only characters available in the selected font can be generated. An unsupported glyph needs a different font or revised text.
Turning off the base produces separate lettering, but the tool does not calculate balance. Design and test a stable mounting method for standing signs.
