Name tags

Customizable, 3D printable, LEGO-compatible names tags!


##Dependencies

• OpenSCAD
• A 3D printer

##Getting Started

1. Download or clone this project.
2. Install the font Allerta Stencil on your computer. You can find it in the font folder, but it's also available from Google Fonts.
3. Open nametag.scad in OpenSCAD.
4. Change the string on line 16 to whatever name you want! (Note: If it's a really long name, you might need to change lines 11 and 18 to make the name tag wider.
5. In OpenSCAD, from the Design menu, select "Preview". Then select "Render".
6. In OpenSCAD, from the File menu, select "Export->Export as STL..."
7. Save the STL file wherever you want.
8. Use your favorite slicing program to convert the STL into a G-code file.
9. Send the G-code file to your 3D printer.
10. 3D print the name tag!
11. Attach it to anything LEGO-y!
12. Extra credit: Send me a pull request with your name tag, and I'll add it here for safekeeping. Next time, you can just grab the nametag directly. Use the format "Name.stl" for your file. First/given names only, please.

##TODO

1. Make this easier to use so that there aren't as many steps and you don't have to edit lines of code. Maybe use OpenJsCad?
2. ???
3. Profit!!!
