Description

PDF

Create your custom nametag entering your name and surname

From one specific point of view, you will see your name, from other your surname, and for the rest you will see strange figures :-)

 

 

This project is a Python script that generates an Openscad draw !

 

Printables does not allow uploading .py extension, so I uploaded as .txt

Please, download the txt file and then rename it to POVnametag.py

If you are using Windows, probably you don't have Python installed

Don't install it from Microsoft Store because it will not set environment variables

Follow one YouTube guide like this

When Python is installed, run the script going to cmd and typing for example:

py POVnametag.py
Enter string1: jeanclaude
Enter string2: vandamme

POVnametag.scad file has been generated in the same directory

Open it and render using F6

Then export it going to File / Export / Export as STL

STL generated will be too big, but you can reduce it in Slicer

 

Notes

  1. Actually only supports uppercase letters from A to Z, numbers, ampersand and slash
  2. If string1 and string2 length are different, it will try to split letters but not always is possible, if it's not possible, the program exit with one error message
  3. metrics.scad is the script I used for to get the letter metrics. You don't need it unless you hate Tahoma and you want to use another font
  4. Of course, you can enter any string, it doesn't have to be your first and last name, but I'm submitting this project to the Name Tag contest :-)
