I need some help changing a .stl model
Hello! I am trying to print this model but there is engraved text at the base of the model and I would like to get rid of. Could someone please attempt to fill in the text engravement for me? I would greatly appreciate it!

The model is called "Led Zeppelin "The Object" on the thingiverse website.

This is a easy task.
Download the model.
Go to the Web page for ThinkerCad
Create a login
Upload the Thingiverse model you want to change.
Create a thin sheet place it over the engraving you want change, save the model.

Fusion 360 Is Free for Hobbbiest Read the web Link and register.
There are many tutorials on you-tube. This is how I learned to use the Program.
I designed this 3D Printer Controller case in less time than is took to 3D Print it.
This was My First ever 3D Cad Design.

I also reduced the vertex/triangle count on the model from 1.8 million to just over 28K which will improve response in any program that loads the model. Even though Fusion 360 is free for the hobbyist, it's challenging to know the precise commands or keywords for which to search to accomplish a specific task. I used Meshmixer and a bit of a hack/work-around to remove the text. I learned something in the process for future utility.

It's not so much a specific feature, but a combination of them. In this case, after reducing the triangle count (IMPORTANT!), I selected W for wireframe view, then used the select tool to select all the triangles surrounding the depressed lettering. After consulting with a mental health professional, it was decided the best approach was to delete the selected triangles. This removed the support structure for the depressed triangles, causing them to fail the Analysis/Inspector. Automatic repair removed the letters and closed over the resultant gap. It's important to avoid surrounding more than one letter at a time, as it will result in a repair that creates a depressed mostly flat area, not longer planar. There may be some remnants of my failure in that aspect, although I performed the delete and repair over those valleys with great success.
