Draw a 3d Monogram Pendant for 3d Printing
These pendants make great gifts and are 3d printer friendly.
I have numerous letter combinations available for download at http://www.thingiverse.com/Ugly/designs
In your favorite 3d modeling tool create a 2 character text; your initials are a great start.
Text height 25 mm
Text only needs to be a curve (outline).
Note: Use a font that has the same height for each letter and not to curvy.
Rotate
Rotate one of the letters 90 degrees to the other letter
Align
Center the letters. Make sure that the bottoms are also aligned.
Extrude
Extrude each letter separately the same width of the other letter.
Intersection
Do a boolean intersection of the two extruded letters.
Cylinder
Add a cylinder 3mm in diameter thru the center of the monogram.
Boolean Difference
Subtract the cylinder from the monogram.
Done
Upload to you 3d printer, print, and enjoy!
