Separate Parts Mode

The Separate Parts option allows the base, text, and icons to be printed independently.

This is perfect for:

• clean multi-color prints
• avoiding manual filament changes
• easier painting
• easier assembly

The generated notches help align the parts precisely during assembly.

Wall Mounting

Optional rear keyholes are included for floating wall mounting.

A printable wall drilling template can also be generated automatically to help position the screws perfectly on the wall.

Recommended screw protrusion from the wall:

• approximately 7 mm

Icons

Several icons are already included:
coffee, bath, headset, speaker, heart, home, fork & spoon, music, cloud, tree, moon, star, cactus, flower, and more.

If you need an icon that is not currently included, feel free to ask in the comments and I’ll try to add it in a future update.

Tips

• The notch positions can be fine-tuned for difficult fonts or special cases.
• Some letters (like i, j, or separated script fonts) may contain floating or disconnected parts depending on the selected font.
• In those situations, reducing letter spacing or enabling the Baseline Bridge option can help significantly.
• Interlock notches work very well for alignment, but for a permanent assembly it is still recommended to add a couple drops of glue.
• The Separate Parts mode is ideal for printing clean multi-color models without filament swaps.
• Very extreme settings may technically work, but balanced proportions usually produce better visual and printing results.
• Very thin base thickness values may reduce rigidity depending on the shelf size.
• If using wall mounting, make sure the wall screws are properly anchored depending on your wall material.
• For best print quality, print the visible front face directly on the build plate when using Separate Parts mode.
• For stronger keyhole areas, please refer to my print profile: it shows how to use modifiers around the keyholes to reinforce them.
• You can enable supports for the rear keyholes and for the male notches if needed (These supports are very small and usually easy to remove).
