Description
🔧 All Linked Customizable 3D Layered Text Generator - Perfect for Gifts & Name Displays
This generator creates a fully parametric single‑line 3D layered text display, ideal for gifts, desk décor, shelf displays, event signage, and personalized name plates. It features a bold main text layer, a thick background layer, optional underline styling, and precise centering logic to ensure a clean, professional result.
🛠️ Single‑Line Custom Text
The main text is fully customizable:
- Enter any name, word, or short phrase
- Choose from thousands of system fonts
- Adjust size, spacing, and X‑offset
- Perfect centering regardless of text length
This generator is ideal for creating bold, readable, linked text displays.
🧱 Layered Background + Main Text
The model includes two stacked layers:
- Background layer: Thick, smooth, high‑contrast base
- Main text layer: Crisp, bold lettering
- Adjustable XY padding
- Works beautifully with AMS multi‑color printing
This produces a premium, two‑layer effect with strong visual depth.
➖ Underline
A smooth underline can be added beneath the text:
- Auto‑width based on text length
- Adjustable extra length
- Adjustable thickness
- Adjustable spacing
- Independent underline color
- Background underline layer
The capsule shape ensures clean curves and visual balance.
🎨 Color System
Assign colors independently to:
- Main text
- Underline
- Background layers
Perfect for AMS multi‑color printing or manual filament swaps.
⚙️ Automated Parametric Structure
The script automatically:
- Calculates text width and spacing
- Aligns underline based on text bounds
- Generates background and main layers in correct order
- Ensures clean multi‑color separation
This guarantees perfect alignment and no manual tweaking.
🖨️ Printing Tips and Print Settings
- Support‑Free: All geometry is designed to print cleanly without supports
- Ironing Recommended: Apply ironing on the top text layer for a smooth, premium finish
- Material: PLA, PETG, Matte PLA
- Infill: 10–15% Gyroid or Cubic
- Walls: 2–3
- AMS: Assign colors to each separated part for precise multi‑color results
🎨 Color Swap (Manual Multicolor)
If you don’t have an AMS, this model prints perfectly with manual filament swaps. Add pauses at every layer where a color layer ends. Each time the printer pauses, change filament and resume printing to achieve clean, sharp transitions.
🅰️ Font Preview Guidance
MakerWorld currently does not provide a built‑in visual catalog of its available fonts. A reliable way to preview styles is through Google Fonts, where most typefaces closely match those offered in MakerWorld. Browsing there allows you to quickly compare letterforms, weights, and spacing, making it easy to identify a visually similar font for your customization.
