Sign printing/designing software
I'm looking to print a couple of very basic signs - basically a background sheet with some raised writing on there. I vaguely remember reading about a website or software which caters to that, but I forgot to bookmark it. Does anyone have suggestions?
RE: Sign printing/designing software
It is very easy to do in Fusion 360, but that's probably overkill. I'm sure it can be done in OpenSCAD.
RE: Sign printing/designing software
Possibly Tinkercad. Its online, is very simple to use and has several fonts available.
RE: Sign printing/designing software
Design something in Word/Powerpoint/Draw/CS ... save a PNG of the artwork; pipe it up to this or other sites like it (there's a ton of them).

And use the color change feature in Slicer to make the text layers a new color.

I have used this to make signs and convert logos to 3D prints. You could also make a basic design in Tinkercad.

Thank you kindly!

I'm sure it can be done in OpenSCAD.
Of course it can:
// Raised text in OpenSCAD
x_dim=100;
y_dim=20;
z_dim=5;
text_height=1;cube([x_dim,y_dim,z_dim]);
translate([x_dim/2,y_dim/2,z_dim]){
linear_extrude(height=text_height){
text("Raised text", halign="center", valign="center");
}
}
Gives:
Cheerio,

Thanks. I just tested it and it works perfectly.
