Variable Word Sculpture by Robert Halter, updated on 20.03.2017. You can view this work in different colors and also extend it to print new messages. To send a message, type at least one letter followed by at least one slash character. For example, "message/" or "/message". Add a forward slash before the first line to make all lines except the last one tilted. If you want a single line without tilt, add a backslash before it. There should be a minimum of one letter between two slash characters. You can use various parameters to customize your word sculpture: zScale - set the thickness of the letters in millimeters (default 35, but you can choose from: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30) xTranslate - adjust the horizontal movement of the letters in millimeters (default 48, or choose from: 36, 34.38, 41.33, ... 47) zRotation - set the tilt angle of the last letter in the first line in degrees (default -45, or choose from: -1 to -20, -25 to -40) By default, this work will be displayed in red, but you can view it in a selected color. After printing your message and color, you'll have an option to take a screenshot and add it to the remix.

I found this concept particularly appealing, especially since I was inspired by a similar project created by isaac budmen, with its simple yet captivating design. The ability to give it new life through various viewpoints and interpretations has also made it more fascinating for me. I have taken this project further, expanding the open source code in order to create more variable word sculptures. Print Settings Raft: It's not really that important, you see. Supports: The truth is, they aren't needed anyway.
