You need a custom label? Multi-line, with configurable separators, fonts, alignment? 

Customize the label using the Makerworld Customizer

Or with OpenSCAD (install OpenSCAD on your own computer and follow the customizing instructions on this thing page.) or use the Thingiverse customizer here.
Use this label for your household, boat, menus, TV channel lists, jokes and more.
The cool feature is that the size of the label is automatically calculated so that it looks nice and well balanced.

To customize it with your own text, please install OpenSCAD on your own computer and follow the customizing instructions on this thing page.
Alternatively, you can also use the Thingiverse customizer.

Note: I originally uploaded this to Thingiverse, so there are some references below to that site.

If you could take a picture of an actual print, please "comment" and attach the picture. - I am curious to see your uses in the wild!

I included some interesting .STL examples of what is possible. The respective settings can be found in the text box "example settings" below.

You can customize:

  • Up to 20(!) lines of text
  • The font
  • The size of each line
  • You can add horizontal lines by using "---" as text. The fontsize divided by 10 is then the line thickness in millimeters.
  • You can set the border size on each side and the size of the label will be automatically calculated.
  • The text will be centered by default. If you have a "|" inside your text, two columns are created: text to the left of the "|" and the text to the right of it. This way you can easily design price lists, etc.
  • You can select the alignment of the two columns in case you use "|":
    • With align_columns="towards middle" the left columns is right- and the right is left-aligned. So the two columns are aligned towards each other.
    • With align_columns="towards edge" the columns are instead left- and right-aligned, towards the outside borders of the label. Note: If you use this setting, you have to adjust the label width. Increase the width if the two columns texts overlap.

If you like it, please have a look at all my customizable creations. There are configurable-text-based creations, multi-line label, gadget display stand, sweeping name plate, bunting banner, customizable text box III, pyramid text, name plate, Customizable text box with lid and round text. Have also a look at my configurable pack of dogs, rabbits, reindeers and santas. There are also useful coat hangers and finger toys.
Or just check out all my creations.

Thanks go out to PapaLanc and chrislef for their idea for such a configurable label. Additional thanks go out to PapaLanc that i can use the photo of the TV-channel-print.

Thanks!

Print instructions

Print the label e.g. at

  • Layer height .2mm
  • 2 Perimeter
  • 5 Solid layers
  • 20% infill

Don't use supports.
Switch the filament color while printing to get better readability like in my pictures.

Stick it to the wall using double sided adhesives (e.g. Tesa Powerstrips)
