So until they fix that issue, you will have to install and run OpenSCAD (free software) on your own computer to process the code to create your own customized models. Note: Thingiverse hasn't run their customizer queue since Jul 10, 2020. If you want to use any of the special characters that aren't on your keyboard, you can copy them from above and paste them into the customizer. So, if you're looking to make a cool Mother's Day gift or Father's Day gift, this thing has what you need, no matter which side of the pond you're on.Īlthough the instructions in the customizer tell you to use UPPERCASE characters only, using lower case characters is fine as long as they're paired up with characters of the same height bass/drum is fine, but bass/fish isn't because the last letters of the two words(s and h) are different heights. Also included are "I♥U MOM", "I♥U MUM", and "I♥U DAD" models as generated by the customizer. Those STLs have a Z80 suffix in the filename. The "I♥U MOM" & "I♥U DAD" models in the photos have the letter blocks scaled to 80% in the Z dimension. It can also make models with triple words and phrases. If you want a triple-letter 3D monogram block try my Customizable Triple Letter Blocks Ambigram.

You could also make a 3D monogram of your initials with just a single letter block. You can copy it from here and paste it into the customizer field. You must use the ♥ glyph if you want a heart. You cannot use the ❤ glyph it is not available in the font used. You can use letters, numbers, a space character, or any of the special characters: $& You should **use a capital letter "o" instead of a zero* because the zero has a dot in the centre that would be printed in mid-air.

You can make a stand with any words or names of your choosing by running the customizer app. The technical name for this type of thing is a 3-dimensional ambigram. This is a display stand made of a sequence of blocks that are each shaped like two different letters when viewed from two orthogonal viewpoints.
