1. Type the name
Open the editor and type the name into the Content box. It appears instantly in the live 3D preview so you can see exactly what you will get. Add a second line — a surname, a title like “Mr”, or a room name — with the “+ Text” button.
2. Pick a sign mode
Choose how the sign will be used. Desk signs stand on their own lettering, wall signs add mounting holes, plaques give you a solid backing plate, and keyrings add a loop. Each mode sets sensible defaults so you rarely need to fiddle.
3. Style it
Change the font, size and colours, add a halo backing behind the letters, or drop in a shape like a heart or star. Give the letters a little raised height so they stand proud of the backing — that is what makes a name sign read well in two colours.
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, export an STL — one clean file ready for any slicer. For multicolour, export a 3MF (each part on its own filament, ideal for AMS-style printers) or a split-STL pack (one STL per colour) for manual filament swaps.
5. Slice and print
Open the file in your slicer, sit it flat on the bed (the design is authored face-up with a flat back, so it needs no supports), and print. PLA at 0.2 mm layers is a great starting point. That is it — a finished name sign in an afternoon.
