In this video, I show you three ways you can generate 3D printable text.
Method 1, the quick and easy drag and drop into Cura. Great, but has some limitations.

Method 2, whip up some text in TinkerCAD. I love TinkerCAD, but this option is only really good for basic text, nothing too elaborate.

Method 3, take an existing image, convert it to a vector and then make that vector 3D printable. This method takes a bit longer, but you can also use it for logos.

I also use Fusion360, but this is a more involved process, so out of the scope of this quick video. If you'd like to see my process in Fusion360, let me know in the comments down below.
I'd love to know if you have other ways of generating 3D printable text.
I have some upcoming projects that rely on the ability to create text, so wanted to make this a standalone video so I can refer to it later.
