Modelador 3D Paper Embossing Roller Generator

About this generator

Modelador 3D Paper Embossing Roller Generator builds a complete, printable roller press that embosses paper with your own design, from the small Brazilian studio behind the Modelador 3D Part Generator. You lay out text, a logo, a drawing or a repeated motif, with the position in millimeters, the size and the number of repeats; PNG, JPG and WebP images are turned into outlines, and SVG files work when their text is converted to curves. Paper widths go from cards up to A4 and Letter on the short edge.

The generator makes a matched pair of rolls, one positive and one negative, and the rest of the press: a housing, a clip-on bearing cover, two gears, bushings, shafts, a crank with a spacer and a handle, 14 parts in all. The download is an STL kit with the measurements and a JSON project file to pick up the design later. There is no STEP export, and the technical text is in Portuguese with menus partly translated.

The maker is clear that this is a prototype for physical testing. The starting values for cardstock are a 0.08 mm gap, 2.30 mm negative depth and 1.20 mm positive relief, the wide A4 version is experimental, and not every combination has been printed. Start with the short kit and scrap paper, and check your slicer for spots that need supports. Downloads are free after registering a first name and a verified email.
