Parametric Cable Label; Cable Label

1. Convenient Bulk Creation (Semicolon Separator):

   Simply enter your labels separated by a semicolon ; into the single text field (e.g., Cable 01;Sensor B;Inlet;Pump 3). The model automatically calculates the exact number of labels, splits the text, and places all labels perfectly centered on your print bed. No more tedious generation of individual files!

2. Variable Text Style (Multi-Color Printing vs. Manual Filament Change):
   • Inlaid (for AMS/MMU): The text is precisely inlaid flush with the surface of the label. The print result is a completely smooth surface with perfectly legible, flush text.
   • Embossed: The text stands out upwards. Perfect for printers without AMS/multi-color system. Here, a simple filament change (M600 or pause in the slicer) can be performed at the appropriate print height (e.g., from the first text layer at 1.6 mm).

3. Perfect Dimensions for Every Application:

   Adjust label size, corner radii, cable tie slots (horizontally positioned for maximum stability), fonts (e.g., Roboto, Liberation Sans, Ubuntu), font size, and spacing in an instant.

🛠️ Instructions for Multi-Color Printing (Bambu Studio / OrcaSlicer)

If you have selected the 'Inlaid' text style in the Customizer:

1. Generate your model in the Customizer and download the file.
2. Drag the file into Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer.

3. The slicer asks you:

   "This file contains multiple objects. Do you want to load them as a single object with multiple parts?"

   👉 Make sure to click YES.

4. In the object list on the left, you will now see a single object consisting of two bodies (label base and text inlay).
5. Click on the text inlay and simply assign it a different filament (different color) from your AMS.
6. Slice and print with perfectly flush lettering!

📦 Versatile Applications & Ideas

Whether rigid in PETG or flexible in TPU – these markers bring order everywhere:

• Workshop & Industry:
  • Hydraulic hoses on tractors, excavators, or machines (ideal in flexible TPU, as it is oil and grease resistant).
  • Compressed air hoses and compressor supply lines.
  • Three-phase power and extension cables for construction sites or heavy equipment.
• IT & Server Rooms:
  • Network cables (patch cables) in server racks or behind the router.
  • Power supply cables for servers, UPS systems, and switches (e.g., "Server 1; Switch 2; NAS").
  • Cable harnesses in PC cases or crypto mining rigs.
• Household & Office:
  • Cable clutter under the desk (monitor, PC, printer, desk lamp).
  • Charging cables in drawers (USB-C, Lightning, Micro-USB – no more searching!).
  • Power supplies for household appliances, game consoles, and televisions.
• Garden & Home Technology:
  • Irrigation hoses and pipes for pool or garden systems (weather-resistant in PETG).
  • Heating pipes or lines in the basement (e.g., "Flow; Return; Hot Water").
  • Solar and PV cables from balcony power plants or rooftop installations.
