Suspended text generator
Print Profile(1)
Description
The provided script generates a 3D model that creates text inside a polygon shape. Utilizing strategic overhangs, the text appears to be almost floating within the shape.

Boosts really help me continue designing, so if you like my work, it's a great way to say thank you at no cost to you.
Quick guide:
- Press the customize button and edit the parameters as you want.
- Option A: Export the model in stl and import it into Bambu Studio and select "Arachne Wall generation" and “no supports”.
- Option B: Download the profile “SuspendedMaker - Model template” and replace the model with the generated stl
Customization:
- Text Content: The variable text_content contains the text to display in the 3D model. Default: “Miguel.”
- Text_content_2: This variable allows writing a second line of content, if it is empty, it will center the first one.
- Font Type: The font_type variable specifies the font for the text. You can choose from various fonts such as “Noto Sans SC,” “Inter,” “Montserrat,” etc (all available at makerword customizer)
- Font Size: The font_size parameter determines the size of the text.
- Polygon Shape: The script creates a polygon with a specified number of sides (num_sides). This value can be adjusted between 4 and 20.
- Extrusion Width: The width parameter controls the extrusion width of the polygon.
- Frame Width: The frame width.
Additional Notes:
- Expert Options: The script includes advanced parameters for fine-tuning the model, such as vertical_line_offset, line_width, line_spacing, height_gap, and gap_factor. Adjust these parameters if necessary to achieve the desired result.
Printing Instructions:
- Preparation: Download the attached profile, remove the default model, and add your generated model. This ensures the configuration works as expected.
Preview Check: Always check the preview tab to confirm the model is complete and the slicer has not removed any parts.
- Aracne Wall Generation: Ensure the Aracne wall generation option is active to generate the necessary overhangs.
- Model Orientation: Keep the model orientation as generated to ensure that the overhangs are properly calculated.
Improvements backlog:
- Allow simpler colouring of the model
- Select if you want the model to be faced up or down for better look of the front layer
Changelog:
- v2: Added support for second line
- v1: Initial release
