About Text3D Maker
Text3D Maker is a simple online generator for 3D letters and short words. You type up to 30 characters, choose a font, and adjust depth, size and bevel with a real-time preview before downloading a binary STL.
Built-in add-ons cover common projects: a keychain ring with adjustable size and position, and a stick for cake toppers. The site also has themed pages for name keychains, nameplates, door signs, wedding signs and baby names, all based on the same editor. A Pro option adds an Alphabet Pack that downloads all 26 letters as separate files.
The free version is limited to three fonts and two downloads in total. A one-time Pro purchase unlocks 90 fonts and unlimited downloads, with no subscription. It suits people who want a quick cake topper or keychain and do not mind paying a small fee for more fonts.

Materials and parts that give the best results with Text3D Maker.
Matte PLA for signs and Gridfinity
Matte filament hides layer lines and cuts glare, so raised lettering on signs and nameplates stays readable from any angle and a drawer full of bins looks uniform.
- Bambu Lab PLA MatteWide colour range with AMS-ready RFID, ideal for multi-colour signs.
- Polymaker Panchroma Matte PLA (formerly PolyTerra)The former PolyTerra line under a new name: soft matte look and good value for printing Gridfinity in bulk.
- SUNLU Matte PLALow-cost matte option for large batches of bins and baseplates.
Key rings for printed keychains
A sturdy metal split ring is what turns a printed name tag into a keychain that survives life in a pocket; printed plastic loops wear through quickly.
- Bambu Lab Split Ring Keychain 25 mm (10 pcs)Silver 25 mm rings sized for printed tags; easy to add to a filament order.
- 25 mm split key rings with chains and jump rings (bulk)Bulk packs with chains and jump rings suit craft-market batches and gift sets.
