When you click on the white square on top of the 3d figures, you can change the height of the 3D figure either by the click-hold-drag-release or clicking the number signifying the height (normally in millimeters) and typing in the desired number. Normally for speedy printing, 3 mm for the name and 2 mm for the rectangular prism works best. Click and drag the rectangular prism covering an area bigger than your name.
