Watermarking Within the Infill Pattern
Group,
I enjoy printing with translucent PLA. It's fun to see the light shine through the print. It would be awesome if there was a way to tell Prusa Slicer to solid fill some text characters within the infill. So when the light shines through there will be something of a watermark there. This is only for the infill layers. I'm not looking for the outline of the text to show up on the top or bottom surfaces. Any advise or links would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex
RE: Watermarking Within the Infill Pattern
you could create a text string as say a 1mm thick artefact, and add that as a negative volume instance buried in the model
altering the thickness may give the result you are looking for.

RE: Watermarking Within the Infill Pattern
If I were doing it, I would embed a text object inside the main object in CAD. Then when I export to STL (or OBJ 0r 3MF), keep the text as a set of distinct objects (one object for each text character), not combined. Then when importing the STL to Prusa Slicer, you will be asked if the file should be considered a single object with multiple parts. Answer yes. Then right-click each text character object & change its properties to give you the effect you want in your watermark.
There are probably other ways to do it, maybe even better more efficient ways. But I've been doing text & logo embossing & debossing in CAD for years, & I'm very comfortable with that kind of workflow.
Whatever you find to do with your hands, do with all your might!
