MakerBot Font (parametric and variable-width!)

thingiverse

This text demonstrates an outdated method for adding text in OpenSCAD, as modern versions include the text() function. However, it can be useful for those using ancient OpenSCAD without text() support or interested in font metrics in functional programming. This is a versatile MakerBot Font for OpenSCAD, featuring variable-width characters, new string functions, and text alignment. The file contains higher and lower resolution fonts, created with the svgFont2scad tool, which will be released later this year. The Designer Block font used in this file is free for personal use but requires a paid license for commercial purposes. There's a limit of around 64 characters due to OpenSCAD's lack of support for stateful variables, but the creator suggests contacting OpenSCAD developers about this issue. To use this font, place the .scad file in an appropriate directory and utilize the label() function with size, height, spacing, and alignment options as desired.
