Hi, I'm Frank. I wanted to create a tool to create letters with a wide variety of fonts to easily export to STL for 3D printing. I'm aware there are many options for this out there, but I wanted one tool to do what I wanted with little feature creep. So I made this...
After I got it working pretty well, I thought others may also enjoy it. However, I'm not sharing it widely because I don't have the $$$ to pay for increased server costs.
A few things to note:
- After you export, toss the file in Cura or your favorite slicer. It will render kinda funny, but in my experience once it is sliced it works fine.
- Not all fonts work, but most do. If they don't, the export will be grayed out. You get what you get, so don't throw a fit.
- The viewer is only 2D. This is because the JavaScript library, Three.js, although amazing, is a total pain in the tail when it comes to font rendering. Apparently there is a way to convert non-Three.js fonts client-side on the fly, but again, I tried that and I picked my battles according to the time suck that trying to get that to work is.
- With that said, stuff like the back plate feature needs to be fiddled with to get the results you want.
- One of the nicest things I like is taking just one letter and exporting it one at a time to create large signs.
Anywho... enjoy! And if you wanna help with these server costs, toss me whatever here:
