Make a brick name plate or key ring tag

How it works

1. Type the words: Up to 14 letters, numbers, spaces and a few marks. Use * for a heart.
2. Pick a style and colours: A name plate with big raised letters, or a small key ring tag with a ring hole. Choose the base and letter colours, and switch the base plate on or off.
3. Save the files (Pro): You get the print file (STL, or a two-colour 3MF), the parts list, a BrickLink shopping list and a building manual.

What you get

• Brick-built letters: the letters come from a small pixel font, so they look like they were built from bricks, because they are.
• Name plate: the letters stand two plates high on a base plate with a border.
• Key ring tag: smaller letters one plate high, on a base with a ring hole at one end. Print it at about 80 mm long.
• Any two colours: pick from the common brick colours. The parts list is built from the same pieces.

Tips for a better result

• Keep it short. Fewer letters mean larger letters at the same print size.
• Pick two colours that look different from each other, like black and white or red and yellow.
• Leave the base plate on if you want a single piece. Without it every letter is a separate piece.
• Print the key ring tag small. The studs will not fit real bricks, but it makes a neat tag.
