Thermos FUNtainer 12oz 355ml bottle Name Tag

myminifactory

My Son didn't want a name tag attached to the handle..... sigh.... Designed this to fit snugly in the hinge of the Thermos FUNtainer 18oz bottle. Might also work for the 16oz model, but I don't have one to test - please leave a comment if you try it! Name tag for the Thermos 18oz bottle: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-122953 Blank STL provided so you can add your own name. Designed in FreeCAD, with curved text added in Blender. To add text in Blender 2.8: File > Import > STL Right-click, Context/Scene > Units > Unit Scale 0.001, Length Metric Top Overlays > 0.001 Add > Curve > Circle Context/Object > Scale 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. Select text, top left, Object > Convert to > Mesh from Curve Text, press "tab", drag mouse to select all text objects, press "x" on keyboard, > Limited Dissolve, "tab" to exit edit mode Context/Modifiers > Add Modifier > Deform > Curve Object > Select circle object, default BezierCircle Click on Mode mode, move to make it bigger along the circle, and mode to desired location. "Apply" when ready Hide the text object. Click on Thermos NameTag blank object, to make a hole. Context/Modifiers > Add Modifier > General > Boolean > Difference, object, select 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, making the retaining tip go further apart. Put one side in first, then the other, and release... FreeCAD file included
