Thermos FUNtainer 12oz 355ml bottle Name Tag

thingiverse

My Daughter wanted a name tag attached to the handle, so I sighed. Designed this to fit snugly into the hinge of the Thermos 12oz 355ml FUNtainer bottle. May also fit the 16oz 470ml bottle, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet. Please leave a comment if you try it on the 16oz 470ml bottle. ------------------------------------------------------------- Name Tag for the Thermos 18oz 530ml Bottle https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4391619 ------------------------------------------------------------- A blank STL file is provided so that you can add your own name to it. Designed in FreeCAD, with curved text added in Blender. To add text in Blender 2.8: File > Import > STL On the right, Context/Scene > Units > Unit Scale 0.001, Length Millimeters On top Overlays > 0.001 Add > Curve > Circle Context/Object > Scale for X Y and Z to 33.75 Add > Text Tab to edit text, Context/ObjectData > Font > Size 7.5 (adjust accordingly) Context/ObjectData > Extrude 2mm (or more) Context/Object > Rotation X 90, Rotation Z 180 I like to duplicate the text object at this point.

Context/Modifiers > Add Modifier > General > Boolean > Difference, object, select the mesh Text, apply Delete all objects, except for the tag. File > Export > STL Import into slicer, print! TIP: To fit the tag to the bottle, don't try to bend the retaining tip, they will break. Instead, with the name tag facing you, hold the back with your fingers, and press down on the middle (where the text are), with your thumb. This will flex the whole thing, and make the retaining tip go further apart. Put in one side first, then the other, and release... FreeCad file included
