🛠️ What can you customize?

This model is a creative powerhouse, putting dozens of options at your fingertips right in the MakerWorld customizer!

• Brick Shape: Define the exact nubs_cnt_x (width) and nubs_cnt_y (length) of your brick. You can also control the brick_height to create thin plates or classic tall bricks.
• Personalized Text: This is where the magic happens! Add any text_on_front, choose from hundreds of fonts, and select a font_style like Bold or Italic.
• Advanced Text Effects: Choose to Emboss (raise), Deboss (deeply engrave), or Light Engrave your text. You have full control over the text_depth and even the text_thickness (boldness).
• Full Text Control: Go even further by adjusting letter spacing, horizontal and vertical alignment, and even rotate the text for a cool angled look. Use the offset sliders to fine-tune the position perfectly.
• Structural Integrity: Print rock-solid bricks by enabling strong_brick mode. You can also fine-tune the clutch_power_adjustment and nubs_diameter_mod for that perfect, satisfying click with other bricks.
• Keyring: Add a keyring_diameter to easily turn your custom brick into a personalized keychain!

For the best compatibility, dimensional accuracy is key. All filaments should do the job, I have already tried PLA and PETG. But you can also print it in ABS - the material that is used for the real bricks. This model needs no supports. For a perfect fit, you might want to print a small test brick first and adjust the clutch_power_adjustment and nubs_diameter_mod values slightly for your specific printer and filament.

 

💡 Why did I make this model?

I wanted to give personalized gifts to some kids, and I thought, "What's better than a brick with their name on it?" I found an existing generator but decided to improve it with way more text options to get the look just right.
