Personalisable Rotater Embosser Card Machine

Rotator Embosser business card machine. The files are stored in the project folder, unpack them to a directory and run the embosser .scad file to customize your text. You can change the positions from line 10 by adding a translate line: translate([25,0,0]) positiveside(); Export all data to different STL files because it is not level; arrange gcode accordingly. That's it! Perhaps wrap PTFE around it if you have some teflon tape. Also, you need a very high detail printer to get the fonts right. For Slic3r, uncheck detect thin walls and crossing perimeters, check the font details carefully in your slicer program. If you have a Prusa Mendel and can print at 0.15mm, you can do the spiral version at 0.15 and the mesh resized to 28%. Perhaps you can make the letters the same width on both sides and less embossed to get a sharper result, if your 3D printer makes square letters round and can compensate for the letters being the same width. There is an image to cylinder heightmap conversion code for scad on thingiverse somewhere for embossing logos and photos. If someone can find it, tell me what it is; I will add it as another version.
