Stencil

thingiverse

This is a stencil my neighbor asked about. I had printed raised letters in Sketchup, but cutouts were always evil. New strategy made it slick. A flat rectangle and the 3D text tool. The catch was that I set the 3D text tool to not filled and not extruded. Placed it on the rectangle and scaled it just the way I wanted. Selected them both and used intersect faces. I then drew connections for O's and such or added a small piece to keep the center of the letter in place. Instructions I only raised the stencil up to 1/32 of an inch. They printed really well and my neighbor is happy as can be. They were adding the logo to a antique cart they were restoring.
