Parametric Name Keychain / Fridge Magnet

Create a fully personalised keychain or fridge magnet with the name or word of your choice. Everything is configurable directly from the MakerWorld Customizer — no 3D modelling knowledge required. The outline of the piece automatically adapts to the shape of the letters.

 

Update — Font selector

The font selector has been completely reworked. Instead of choosing from a limited dropdown list, you can now browse and select any font directly from MakerWorld's full font library — over 8,000 fonts organized by category, just like Google Fonts. Simply click the font field in the Customizer to explore all available options.

What you can customise

Text

• Any name or word of your choice
• 10 fonts available from a dropdown menu: Pacifico, Fredoka One, Comfortaa, Nunito, Righteous, Lobster, Dancing Script, Satisfy, Arial, Liberation Sans
• The outline automatically follows the shape of the letters, regardless of the font chosen

Dimensions

• Text size
• Base thickness
• Height of the letter relief above the base
• Border margin around the text

Suspension hole (keychain)

• Enable / disable
• Adjustable diameter
• Adjustable border thickness around the hole — if the hole extends beyond the edge, a border is automatically created around it to maintain structural integrity
• Freely adjustable position in X and Y — no limits, type any value you need

Magnet pocket (fridge magnet)

• Enable / disable
• Diameter and depth adjustable to match your magnet
• Freely adjustable position in X and Y

Colors

• Base color and text color are independent
• 10 colors available from a dropdown menu
• Live preview in the Customizer

Export modes

• Full preview — complete preview with both colors
• Base only — base with letter-shaped recess
• Text only — letters only, ready to snap into the base

Tolerance parameters

Added two print tolerance parameters (letter_clearance and hole_clearance) for a perfect base + text fit. The recess in the base is slightly enlarged so the letters snap in without forcing, and the closed holes in letters (B, D, O, P...) are slightly reduced for a cleaner result. Adjust to match your printer's tolerances.

Recommended printing approach

Single-piece print — the easiest option If you don't need two colors, print in Full preview mode with a single filament. This is the most reliable method, with no risk of misalignment or warping. The text will stand out in relief on the base, cleanly and solidly.

2-color print For a two-color result, the piece is split into two snap-fit parts:

• The base contains a letter-shaped recess
• The letters snap into the recess

You can print both colors using an AMS / MMU system, or with a filament change pause. Both parts are designed to fit together perfectly.

Important before printing

Letter thickness Some fonts generate very thin strokes that may be smaller than your nozzle diameter. If letters disappear or print poorly:

• Increase the text size
• Increase the relief height (relief_height)
• Choose a bolder font: Fredoka One, Nunito ExtraBold or Pacifico are the most reliable options

Layer height and relief The relief height must be a multiple of your layer height. With 0.2 mm layers, the recommended minimum is 0.6 mm (3 layers). Below this, letters may not print correctly or may be fragile.

Exporting text separately — caution required If you export the letters separately (Text only mode), your printer must be well-calibrated. Very small or thin letters can warp, detach from the bed, or fail to print at all. If this happens, increase the text size and relief height, or opt for a single-piece print instead.

Magnet pocket Measure your magnet with a calliper before printing. Two important rules:

• The pocket depth (magnet_depth) must always be at least 0.4 mm less than the base thickness (base_thickness) to avoid breaking through the piece
• The pocket diameter should match your magnet precisely — add 0.2 mm clearance to make insertion easier
• An 8 × 1.5 mm neodymium magnet is a good starting format for this type of piece

Suspension hole Position the hole within the border around the letters. The automatic border around the hole ensures there is always enough material, even if the hole extends slightly beyond the outline. A 3 mm diameter (1.5 mm radius) fits most standard keyring rings.

Mechanical strength For a keychain intended for daily use, minimum recommendations:

• base_thickness ≥ 2.5 mm
• relief_height ≥ 1.0 mm
• border_margin ≥ 3.5 mm
• Minimum 30% infill in your slicer
• PETG or ABS recommended for better impact resistance; PLA is suitable for decorative use only
