Beginner-Friendly Features

• Auto-connect floating parts: Dots on letters like i, j, !, ?, and accented characters are automatically bridged to the main letter body so your print comes out as one solid piece.
• Link adjacent letters: Optional thin bridges between letters at the baseline so the whole word prints connected — no glue, no base plate required.
• Print info panel: Live estimates of dimensions in mm and inches, volume, filament length, and rough print time.
• Smart print tips: Warnings about extrusion depth, thin walls, and orientation.
• Mirror mode: One click to flip the text — useful for stencils, transfers, stamps, or wax seals.

Popular Use Cases

Recommended Print Settings

• Layer height: 0.16–0.20 mm for clean letter edges
• Infill: 15% Gyroid (or 100% if very thin)
• Walls: 3 perimeters (more for tiny lettering)
• Supports: not needed — print face-down on the bed for the best top surface
• Material: PLA for decor; PETG for outdoor signs and keychains
• Ironing: ON for a perfectly smooth top face

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do the dots on the letter "i" float in some text generators?

Each letter's shape is made of separate outlines (contours). The dot on "i" or "j" is a separate contour from the stem. If a slicer treats them as independent islands, the dot will print as a loose piece. This tool's Auto-connect option adds a thin bridge between every floating contour and the nearest contour below it, so your print comes out as one solid piece.

Is this 3D text generator really free?

Yes. 100% free, unlimited downloads, no account, no watermark, and the STL files are yours to use commercially (sell on Etsy, use for client signage, etc.). All fonts included are free for commercial use.

What fonts are included?

20 fonts across categories: Sans (Bebas Neue, Anton, Oswald, Montserrat, Poppins, Russo One), Serif (Playfair Display, Crimson Pro), Script (Pacifico, Lobster, Dancing Script, Permanent Marker), Display (Bungee, Bowlby One, Black Ops One, Righteous, Audiowide), Retro/Pixel (Press Start 2P, Orbitron), and Horror (Creepster). All are Google Fonts licensed for commercial use.

Can I print this on any 3D printer?

Yes. The STL is a standard binary file that loads in Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, Cura, OrcaSlicer, and every other slicer. It works on FDM (filament) and resin printers.

Why is my text printing in pieces?

For script and connected fonts, individual letters may still be separate. Turn on "Link adjacent letters" to bridge them, or add a Base Plate for a flat backing that holds everything together.
