Hello to all. I have just got my new Crealty 20s up and running and it is printing very well. Amomg my many projects is printing custom electronics enclosures. To this end I downloaded a simple box with a lid from Thingiverse (designed as a container for ear buds) and printed it out. The box and the lid print separately with the closed side down. I want to put text and graphics on the lid. If I do this with raised text and graphics in the same orientation, the text and graphics would have to print first, followed by the solid part of the lid. The spaces between the text and graphics would have to be bridged by the printer and would require infill to support the solid part of the lid. I really don?t want infill mixing with the text and graphics. Otherwise I could reverse the orientation of the lid and print with the top (and text and graphics) up. This would require a lot of infill to hold the top of the lid up while printing. Not keen on that either. Waste a lot of PLA.

So is there a techique or trick to doing text and graphics on a flat surface?
