Coat Hanger label tag (updated)

These were created so a carer can prepare & manage sets of clothes with labels in large legible high contrast text for a weekly schedule, and have proven effective so far. Please let me know if they work for you too.

Updated 17 June 2026

Since I published these, there's been a few refinements each new set I print. I'm no longer using modeled text and just a text modifier for a single blank model. This means you're not stuck with the text I created, or the one font anymore. And overall setup is far quicker & easier. Slight tweaks means a slightly narrower slot for the hanger, and better geometry on the rear side. I'll include the project file for Core One manual multicolour, and the STL to use with your own text/SVG modifier.

These print with no supports. Depending on your slicer settings it might report unstable areas on the 2x inside radius of the top of the slot, but I didn't turn on supports despite that warning and it was fine.

This is setup to start the print with the background colour, change to the text colour for 2 layers then a 2nd change to the background and it will complete the print. 

To add your own text modifier to the STL, make it 0.4mm thick (for 2 layers only)

Print files uploaded here are for this newer version.

The prints in the images were eSun PLA+ cold white and black.

Setup (only for older v1)

Import the STL for each tag you want, then add the matching text stl as a part and they'll be perfectly aligned to print. Search for forum posts about using manual MMU or manual multicolour for complete instructions, or just print using your MMU/AMS.

I've moved the older models to a folder to tidy this up some.
