Customizable plant label (OpenSCAD)

prusaprinters

<p>Super simple OpenSCAD code for customizable plant labels.</p><p>I needed to print customized plant labels and I did not want to open CAD program to edit the text everytime. I learned a bit of OpenSCAD and got this working plant label. This is super simple code and super easy to get what ever text you want.&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>What you need:</strong></h3><ul><li>OpenSCAD: <a href="https://openscad.org/">https://openscad.org/</a></li><li>Font (Montserrat, Black): <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Montserrat">https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Montserrat</a>&nbsp;</li></ul><h3>How to use:</h3><p>First you need to install OpenSCAD and Montserrat, Black font. You can use other fonts but this code is meant to work with Montserrat, Black.</p><p>Download <i><strong>plantlabel.scad</strong></i> from Files. There are also two example stl files.</p><p>Open downloaded <i><strong>plantlabel.scad</strong></i> with OpenSCAD</p><p>Edit text parameter from the code</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/164343/rich_content/be5b29bb-1eff-4325-ad96-d305383bae84/image.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22cad24eca-b875-444e-9196-671c4d8d50e5%22%2C%22w%22%3A450%2C%22h%22%3A72%7D"></figure><p>Press Preview button</p><p>Then you can see how it looks on the preview window.&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/164343/rich_content/f53fc41a-d521-4993-81de-1bbd1c73ec50/image.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%229705202a-7f72-4b50-ba53-9e95ca320a32%22%2C%22w%22%3A962%2C%22h%22%3A446%7D"></figure><p>If it looks good you can press Render button</p><p>After that you can export to stl by pressing Export to STL button</p><p>Then you can print the stl.</p><h4>Notes</h4><p>Letters like i and ä,ö - or other which has dots. I have also used customized font that has no dots. Those are not connected. You can remove those dots using PrusaSlicer or other editor.</p><p>Or you can conver letters like ä → a or ö → o directly in the text parameter.</p><p>You can also use letter ı which is same as i but without the dot. As used in the examle.</p><h3>Printing</h3><p>I printed these with 0.2mm layer height and 0.4mm nozzle. I think you can use bigger layer height and bigger nozzle if you want more speedier print.&nbsp;</p><p>I have used PLA and PET for this but I think you can use whatever material you want.</p><p>If you would like to have those letters to pop you can do a color change mid print. Letters will be a bit raised from the stick part.&nbsp;</p><p>If you need these printed in Finland please contact me at <a href="mailto:marko@3dkorneri.fi">marko@3dkorneri.fi</a> or get these directly from my shop: <a href="https://kauppa.3dkorneri.fi/">https://kauppa.3dkorneri.fi/</a>&nbsp;</p><h3>Todo</h3><ul><li>Better handling of letters with dots or lines over it. For example we could code function to replace the letter with variants without the dots.&nbsp;</li><li>Parameters for size</li></ul>
