Free 3D text maker
Type a name, a word or a few short lines and get solid 3D letters to print. Add a backing plate, and brick studs on it if you like.
Loading the font…
Free, no account. The STL is one piece in one colour. The 3MF keeps the letters and the plate as two parts, for a multi-colour printer.
How it works
Turn it round in the preview, then download an STL or a 2-colour 3MF.
- Type your text.Each line becomes a row of solid letters. Letters with holes, like O, A, B and 8, keep their holes.
- Choose the look.Pick a font, the letter height (the height of a capital letter), how deep the letters stand, and a plate behind them if you want one.
- Download and print.Print it flat on the bed, letters up. It needs no supports.

Two lines, rounded plateEach line becomes a row of solid letters.
Printing it
- Two colours with one nozzle: add a pause (filament change) at the plate thickness, 3 mm unless you changed it. Everything above it prints in the second colour.
- A multi-colour printer: open the 3MF. The plate (with its studs) and the letters are already two parts in two colours.
- Letters below about 8 mm high have thin parts: use a 0.2 mm layer height, or make them taller.
- With no plate, each letter is its own piece. Glue them onto something, or add a plate so the word holds together.
Questions
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It is free and needs no account. The letters are made in your browser, so nothing you type is sent anywhere.
What does letter height mean?
The height of a capital letter such as H. Small letters are shorter, and tails like those on g and y reach below the line.
Will real bricks fit the studs?
The studs are the standard size, 4.8 mm across and 8 mm apart. Printers differ a little, so if bricks are too tight or too loose, see the fit guides below.
