Introduction

A brick with customizable text.

Use the Customizer in MakerWorld or use OpenSCAD to make your own brick with a text. Use at least a version of 2024 of OpenSCAD with optimizations turned on. The script is slow.

Creating

The text can be embossed or debossed. An optional heart can be placed in the middle.

Make small changes to the parameters and change only a few parameters in the Customizer. Not every combination of the parameters will work.

Design ideas:

• A funny or serious text, such as “BRICKED” or “BUILD” as a decoration.
• If your house number is not clearly visible, then a brick with your house number is a nice decoration.
• With the heart in the middle, two initials can be put on the left and right side. Put a space in the text to split the text into two parts.
• For someones birthday, a brick with “HAPPY” and a brick with “BIRTHDAY” can be made.

Post-processing the 3D model

This design will look better with post-processing. For example a voxel remesh, a displacement map, or making more irregularities with sculpting. Blender can do all of that.

Printing

The slicer might take a long time to slice the rough surface. By adding a fuzzy surface in the slicer, the layer lines become less visible. The brick can be printed flat with a raft under it, but it can also be printed at a 45 degree angle, resting on a bottom edge.

Painting the brick for a realistic look will make it look even better.
