Initial & Name

About the Initial & Name

A big stand-up initial with a name in script across the front, in two colours with just one filament change. Or print the name separately and glue it on.

What you can change

• Type your own name and letter.
• Make one, or a whole batch at once: paste a list of names and get one each.
• Letter font: 26 to choose from, from script to stencil.
• Name font: 26 to choose from, from script to stencil.
• Bottom: automatic: a base when the letter won’t stand on its own, flat bottom of the letter, no base and always add a base.
• Printing: in one piece and name printed separately to glue on.
• Pick the letter and name colours.
• Adjust letter height, letter thickness, name size and name letter spacing, and more.

Size

About 7.8 × 10 × 1.8 cm (width × depth × height), one piece at the starting settings.

What you download

An STL for any slicer, and a 3MF with each colour as its own part, ready for an AMS or a filament change.

Printing it

About 33 g of PLA and about 2 hours to print, one piece at the starting settings (15% infill, 2 walls, 0.2 mm layers, on a Bambu Lab A1). Your slicer gives the exact figures for your printer and settings.

Ideas for using it

• A nursery shelf decoration for a new baby.
• A bedroom display for a child, in their favourite colours.
• A wedding or anniversary gift with the couple’s initial.
• A desk ornament with your own name.

Questions

What size is it?

About 7.8 × 10 × 1.8 cm (width × depth × height), one piece at the starting settings. Every size is a setting, so make it as big or small as you need.

Do I need a multi-colour printer?

No. Print it in one colour, or in colours with a filament change: the Colours line under the 3D view says at which height to change. With an AMS or another multi-colour printer, the 3MF prints it in one go.

Which printers and slicers does it work with?

Any FDM printer. The STL opens in every slicer; the 3MF keeps the colours as separate parts in Bambu Studio, Orca Slicer, PrusaSlicer and Cura. Pick your printer in the designer to check it fits the plate.

Can I sell what I make?

On Pro and Ultimate you can sell the prints you make, for example on Etsy or at craft fairs. On Free and Maker, print it for yourself or give it as a gift. The STL and 3MF files themselves are never for sharing or selling.
