3D Text Generator: Type It, Print It
Make name plates, desk signs, keychain tags and lettering for models. Type your text, choose a font, set the letter height and thickness, and download a print-ready STL. A base plate joins the letters into one piece.
How to use it
- 1
Type your text
One or more lines, up to 120 characters. Press Enter for a new line.
- 2
Pick a font
Bold fonts print most reliably at small sizes.
- 3
Set the size
Letter height is the height of a capital letter in mm. Thickness is how far it sticks up.
- 4
Download the STL
Turn the preview to check it, then save and slice.
Sizes that print well
| Letter height | 10 mm or more for regular fonts; bold fonts can go down to about 6 mm. |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 2 to 5 mm for signs and tags. Taller letters may need more to stay stiff. |
| Base plate | 1.5 to 2.5 mm. Add a hole later in your slicer or CAD tool for a keychain. |
| Two colours | Pause the print at the layer where the letters start and swap filament for raised text in a second colour. |
What you can make
Name plates for desks and doors, labels for storage boxes, cake toppers (print in food-safe material only if your printer and filament are certified for it), signs for shelves and plant pots, and raised lettering to glue onto other models.
Good to know
- The built-in fonts cover Latin letters, numbers and common punctuation. Other scripts and emoji are not included.
- Script and thin fonts are not offered because thin strokes break easily when printed.
- Curved or bent text and custom font uploads are not supported yet.

This page makes flat, layered prints from an image or text. For a real 3D object (a figure, a vase, a toy) our AI generators build one from a photo, a sketch or a sentence, with an STL download. They use credits; this tool does not.
