Customizable Letter Puzzle – Type Any Name!

Type any name or word to instantly generate kid‑safe learning letters!

⚠️ Important:  This model must be opened in MakerWorld to be customized. Customization is not compatible with Handy App or Bambu Studio at this time. https://makerworld.com/en/models/2062425-customizable-alphabet-puzzle-type-any-name

This design utilizes MakerWorld's Parametric Model Maker allow you to type any name or word you need. Perfect for kids’ names, lesson plans, spelling games, classroom activities, and much much more. 

Features

• Kid‑safe rounded letters and edges – In your generated prints, not just for a few print profiles.
• Montessori‑style learning design (by default) – 40 mm height, expert selected font to support early character recognition and literacy.
• Fully customizable – Fun fonts, styles, size, boarders, thickness, etc. 
• Easy MakerWorld parameters – sliders and dropdowns make customization quick and beginner‑friendly. Auto adjusting plate length and width.
• Custom Bubble Weight Feature – I created a custom function to make the letters you know and love more Bubbly/Chunky. Great for children's safety and makes the block more fun to play with.
• Print only Letters or Name Plate – Setting added to Parametric Model Maker to disable either the letters or baseplate so you can replace missing letters or print new plates for new words if you already printed the letters. This makes a wonderful and expandable learning tool. 
• 2 Color Name Plate – The 2 color name plate makes the letters clear and perfect for finger tracing. This can be done with an AMS or without an AMS with a pause. (#teamNoAMS!)

Why Fredoka

Fredoka was selected as the default font for this project by experts in education to support early literacy. Clear, rounded letterforms mirror the shapes children are taught to write, making them easy to recognize and trace. By using a single‑storey “a” and other simplified forms found in handwriting practice, the design reinforces standard letter shapes. This encourages hands‑on exploration and aligns with Montessori‑style learning.

Customization and Printing Guide

Bringing a .3mf file from the Parametric Model Maker into Bambu Studio and preparing it for printing can be a bit more involved. To make the process easier, I’ve created a Complete Customization and Printing Guide with recommended settings. This guide walks you through slicing the parametric model in Bambu Studio, separating it into individual parts, and arranging the objects for optimal placement on the build plate.

For those who do not need the extra support, here are some tips:

1. If the design does not look like it fits, rotate it 45deg.

   
    

2. Use the “Arrange” feature to place letters for fastest print. Flip the letter 180deg on the y axis to face the letters down so you get the nice build plate pattern on the topside.
   
    
3. To get nice 1mm fillets use the variable layer tool to decrease the layer size on the top and bottom. I like to do Adaptive at 0.4.
   
4. Disable the Prime Tower if not using AMS.
5. For faster print times I set Sparse Infill Pattern to Rectilinear.
