Universal Parametric Label Generator

Boost MeIf you like my models and want to support my work, I would be very happy about a boost. Otherwise, I'd still be super happy about a like :)

Thank you for your support! 😊🙏

ℹ️ Many thanks to @3DLG, who inspired me to design my own Gridfinity Label Generator (this Generator is also based on my Gridfinity Label Generator) with his version (Link). I’d also like to thank him for making his code open source, which allowed me to reuse part of the batch generation logic and the Torx symbol from his implementation.

🏷️ Universal Parametric Label Generator

This OpenSCAD generator creates customized labels for organizing parts, drawers, tools, bins, or hardware assortments. It's fully parametric and allows for tailored dimensions, text, and optional icons to match your use case.

✅ Features:

• Custom Size: Adjust the width, height, and thickness of the label to suit your application.
• Border Control: Optionally enable a frame/border around the label and define the margin distance from the outer edge.
• Custom Text: Enter your own text to be extruded on the label surface.
• Symbol Selection: Choose from a variety of predefined icons to display alongside the text for quick visual identification:
  None, Countersunk, Socket Head, Socket Head2, Phillips Head,
  Torx Head, Lens Head, Hexagon Head, Nut, Washer, Heat Set Insert
• Icon Scaling: Scale the selected icon to better fit your layout or aesthetic needs.
• Magnet Mounting: Optionally generate mounting holes for magnets, including the ability to add a pause layer for filament changes so magnets can be embedded mid-print.
• Fully Parametric: All properties like label size, font size, spacing, icon position, and layout are adjustable through simple parameters.
• 🧪 More icons are currently in development and will be added over time to expand symbol support.

💡 Use Cases:

• Hardware drawers (e.g. labeling for M3, M4 screws and matching heads)
• Tool cabinets and organizers
• Gridfinity or custom modular storage systems
• Labeling electronics bins or shelves
• Educational or workshop signage

🔄 Changelog:

v1.1.0 – New Feature:

• Added support for scaling icons, allowing better visual balance across different label formats.

Please note that I haven’t been able to test all possible combinations and layouts yet –
so if you encounter issues or have improvements in mind, your input is very welcome and appreciated!
