Magnetic name tag

prusaprinters

<p>Is it a nametag? Is it a fridge magnet?… Yes, yes it is.</p><p>This model is only really useful if your name is Nigel, in which case, cool!, this is more about the process though. Attached is an OpenSCAD example of the process (remove the .txt extension - c'mon Prusa what have you got against .scad files). This file will not generate the model here as there is a lot more going on, but again, it's about the example.</p><p>The process to create the name tag in OpenSCAD is reasonably simple.</p><ul><li>Create your name using a font of your choice (best use one that is simple and does not have any super fine detail. This will be your 'inner'.</li><li>Use a large border offset to generate a bigger version of the name you had above.</li><li>Use a smaller padding offset to cut out space to put your inner into.</li></ul><p>Base thickness and border offsets are all parameters for you to play with.</p><p>I also then overengineered the magnet holder because, well, why not. This version is designed around a 15mm diameter, 1.5mm thick magnet. I used a thin magnet hoping I wouldn't need to make the tag so thick, however, the threads are the limiting factor really, so there is a spacer.</p><p>You could print the name face down to a better surface finish facing the viewer. THe Hibert curve first layer can add a nice touch in Vanilla or galaxy silver Prusament.</p><h4>Don't just name your fridge</h4><p>If you wanted to wear this name tag, that's easy, just put another magnet on the inside of your shirt/blouse/tee etc… You could even embed that in a plastic shroud if you wanted.</p><p>You can also separate out storage on racking shelves as well. I also have one on my locker at work.</p>
