No surprise - some markings were well readible, some not, and some missing. And as usual OpenScad and 3D printer comes handy Device customizable rating plate Header extruded 1 mm over base plate - 3 lines with adjustable text position and letter size. Bottom text extruded 1mm over base plate - 3 lines with adjustable text position and letter size. Main text extruded 1mm over base plate, consists of 2 columns and minimum 2, maximum 6 lines of text (less than 2 make no sense, more than 6 is rather description than rating plate - I think that 2-6 lines covers wide range of needs) Lines position defined by number of requested lines. If text is not readible increase plate height. Text is organized in the same way as on picture of the winch - sorry, I did it for myself. Text size - I found that less than 5 is not readible, if You use greater than 5 You have to play with plate width. Top text extruded 1mm over main text You can print it or use alternative method of marking. Enjoy.
