engraving Letters

thingiverse

This is a set of letters for an extremely old engraving machine that is still under development. Contributions from anyone are highly welcome at this time. With the provided openscad file, it's possible to create letters for any .ttf font at sizes ranging from 8 to 20mm. The current size used is 18mm. However, I believe it makes the most sense to use these letters primarily with line fonts. Unfortunately, few come pre-installed on standard operating system installations. In fact, I'm not aware of a single good one. Therefore, one must search for some free line fonts available on various websites. Not all of them are free. The currently used default font is the Courier monospaced font. While it's fine, in the future, proportional fonts should also be implemented.
