1. Type the name
Open the editor and type the name into the Content box. It appears in the live 3D preview so you can check the result. Use the “+ Text” button to add a surname, a title such as “Mr”, or a room name.
2. Pick a sign mode
Choose how the sign will be used. Desk signs can stand on a printed base, wall signs offer several mounting systems, plaques give you a solid backing plate, and keyrings add a loop. Pro also lets Desk and Wall signs become hollow lightboxes.
3. Style it
Change the font, size and colours, position elements directly in the preview, add a halo backing behind the letters, or add a shape such as a heart or star. Auto-fit keeps long names within a chosen width, while exact finished-size controls scale the whole design proportionally.
Keep the smallest strokes above about 1.2 mm wide. The built-in printability check flags anything too thin, and “Make it printable” nudges the settings for you.
4. Export the file
For a single-colour solid sign, export an STL: one clean file ready for any slicer. Pro adds coloured 3MF, split-STL packs, lightbox exports and bulk generation.
5. Slice and print
Open the file in your slicer, sit it flat on the bed and inspect every layer before printing. Solid signs are authored face-up with a flat back, so the standard designs do not need supports. PLA at 0.2 mm layers is a practical starting point.
