Personalized 3D Name Topper (Pencil, Parametric)

Fully customizable parametric pencil topper — type any name, pick your font, adjust every dimension, and print in multi-color. Designed for MakerWorld's Parametric Model Maker with 30+ adjustable parameters — no coding required.

✨ What Makes This Different

Most pencil toppers give you a name field and that's it. This one gives you complete control over every aspect of the design:

  🔤 Any text — type any name, word, or initials. Supports a second line too.
  🅰️ Unlocked font selector — choose from Poppins, Roboto, Arial, Impact, Comic Sans, or any installed font. Pick from 9 weight styles (Thin to Black).
  📐 Full geometry control — block length, wall thickness, corner style (rounded, sharp, or chamfered), taper angle, and draft angle for mold-ready parts.
  🎈 Puffy balloon effect — inflated dome on each letter with adjustable radius, squash factor, and optional separate color.
  🔲 Stroke outline — add a colored outline ring around every letter. Adjust width, join style, inset, and height ratio — or use stroke-cap mode for a top-only accent.
  🌀 Extrusion twist & scale — spiral your text or taper it to a point. Control twist angle, scale factor, and smoothness.
  🕳️ Smart pencil hole — round or hexagonal cross-section, adjustable diameter and clearance, partial depth option, and internal grip ribs to hold the pencil tight.
  🎨 5 independent color zones — block, text fill, stroke outline, puff dome, and front face text. Preview in OpenSCAD or assign filament colors in your slicer.
  📝 Multi-face text — put text on the top, front, back, or all faces at once.
  ⚡ Quality presets — switch between Draft (fast preview), Normal, High, and Ultra resolution with one dropdown.

💡 Tips

1.  Font not showing? MakerWorld supports common Google Fonts. Try: Poppins, Roboto, Montserrat, Open Sans, Lato, or Impact.
2.  Too tight on pencil? Increase HOLECLEARANCE from 0.35 to 0.5 mm.
3.  Want hex pencils? Switch HOLESHAPE to "hex" for a snug hexagonal fit.
4.  Grip ribs — set HOLEGRIPRIBS to 4–6 for a friction-fit hold without glue.
5.  Quick preview — use Quality = "draft" while tweaking, switch to "high" for final export.
