Write a word and print it out!
**This isn't a 3D design, it's a 3D-design *tool*.** The demo files are just examples; press "Open in Customizer" to get started with your own design.
The Text Tool utilizes the "text" function in OpenSCAD through the MakerBot Customizer so that you can create a quick 3D model of any word or phrase. The letters can be imported for use in any other design program as part of a larger design.
(The example picture shows some simple designs using the Text Tool output in Tinkercad, including a trophy cup shape from rocketboy's model http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:82860.)
Much thanks to [tbuser](http://www.thingiverse.com/tbuser/about) and [atartanian](http://www.thingiverse.com/atartanian/about) for creating the Customizer that makes this tool possible! Also again to atartanian for the idea of making a base web with offset/inset. Thanks also to to [wstein](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:739573) for wrangling the Google font list into s
