To use a system font: Open the .scad file in OpenSCAD Click Help > Font List, to find the name of the font you'd like to use You can use the 'Copy to Clipboard' button to copy it to the clipboard Paste it into the Other Font text box If you used the 'Copy to Clipboard' button, you'll need to remove the double quotes that surround the name Select the Other - Enter font name below option from the Font dropdown Finishing with glitter You will need: Water-based découpage glue - clear gloss works best A fine brush - one you are happy to use to apply the glue Glitter - fine crafting glitter works best Sheet(s) of paper - to recover any excess glitter (you may need several sheets if you'd like to avoid mixing colors) A container with a small amount of fresh water (for soaking the brush between coats) When customizing your bauble, we recommend using the Text_Extrusion_Percent settings to raise the height of the text as this can help when applying the glue. 1) Place your bauble on a sheet of paper 2) Apply glue to the area you'd like to glitter - if working with multiple colors, glue one color at a time 3) Sprinkle a generous amount of glitter on the glued area 4) Collect up any excess glitter by folding the paper and pouring it back into the glitter container 5) If working with multiple colors, repeat steps 1 - 4 until you've applied glitter in all the areas you'd like 6) Leave the brush to soak and wait for the glue to dry 7) Repeat steps 1 - 6 a second or third time until covered to your satisfaction 8) Add a final layer of glue over all the glitter to seal it 9) Wait for the glue to dry and wash the brush well Versions 1.0 (19 Dec 2020) - Initial version Printing Recommended slicer settings: Resolution: 0.1mm - 0.2mm Infill: 20% - 100% depending how durable you'd like it to be.
