Parametric Floating Name Shelf & Sign

Create your own fully customizable floating wall shelf, decorative sign, or personalized room display!

This parametric OpenSCAD model lets you generate unique floating shelves and wall signs using custom text, icons, colors, dimensions, and mounting options.

The model can be used either as:

• a real floating shelf

• or both at the same time.

• Optional baseline bridge for disconnected letters
• Wall drilling template included
• Automatic MakerWorld multi-plate export

Separate Parts Mode

The Separate Parts option allows the base, text, and icons to be printed independently.

This is perfect for:

• clean multi-color prints
• avoiding manual filament changes
• easier painting
• easier assembly

The generated notches help align the parts precisely during assembly.

Wall Mounting

Optional rear keyholes are included for floating wall mounting.

A printable wall drilling template can also be generated automatically to help position the screws perfectly on the wall.

Recommended screw protrusion from the wall:

• approximately 7 mm

Icons

Several icons are already included:
coffee, bath, headset, speaker, heart, home, fork & spoon, music, cloud, tree, moon, star, cactus, flower, and more.

If you need an icon that is not currently included, feel free to ask in the comments and I’ll try to add it in a future update.

Tips

• The notch positions can be fine-tuned for difficult fonts or special cases.
• Some letters (like i, j, or separated script fonts) may contain floating or disconnected parts depending on the selected font.
• In those situations, reducing letter spacing or enabling the Baseline Bridge option can help significantly.
• Interlock notches work very well for alignment, but for a permanent assembly it is still recommended to add a couple drops of glue.
• The Separate Parts mode is ideal for printing clean multi-color models without filament swaps.
• Very extreme settings may technically work, but balanced proportions usually produce better visual and printing results.
• Very thin base thickness values may reduce rigidity depending on the shelf size.
• If using wall mounting, make sure the wall screws are properly anchored depending on your wall material.
• For best print quality, print the visible front face directly on the build plate when using Separate Parts mode.
• For stronger keyhole areas, please refer to my print profile: it shows how to use modifiers around the keyholes to reinforce them.
• You can enable supports for the rear keyholes and for the male notches if needed (These supports are very small and usually easy to remove).
