Description
The little metal-style plate that rides on your sneaker laces, now you can put
any word on it.
How it works: the lace threads through one big channel that runs
straight through the plate and out both ends — the lace stays hidden and the
top is a clean name plate. The plate bows along its length like the real
metal dubraes so it sits flush over the lacing.
There is a **single shared body.stl** — the curved plate with the lace
channel and engraved frame. It is identical for every name. Print the body
once, then pick a name plate text_NAME.stl) to sit on top. The name
plates are modelled in the same coordinate space as the body, so they drop
on perfectly registered — no aligning.
Print body.stlin your main colour.
2. Print text_NAME.stlin a contrast colour.
3. In your slicer (Bambu Studio): **Import body.stl, then Import
text_NAME.stlinto the same plate.** They share coordinates, so they land
perfectly aligned — don't move them. Assign the text a second filament
and slice. (Or right-click the text → Assemble to lock them as one object.)
No AMS? Print body + text and glue, or just print the body solo.

.scadis parametriclace_dubrae.scadis the full parametric source. Install OpenSCAD (free) and
run:
openscad -o body.stl -D 'part="body"' lace_dubrae.scad
openscad -o text_NAME.stl -D 'part="text"' -D name=\"NAME\" lace_dubrae.scad
Replace NAME with any word. For a **single-colour** print use
part="engrave" instead — it cuts the letters into the top so one part prints
in one colour. Other knobs: font, text_h, plate_w (longer words),
slot_w (lace width — ~5 mm round, wider for fat flat laces), curve_sag
(bow).
## Print
