Need Help turning Jpeg Font into STL file

**Tommyg89hb** · 12-12-2022, 08:16 AM

I am seeking some help in taking a Jpeg of some font and turn it into STL file. It is for a Christmas gift. I have tried my best but I think it is out of my scope of understanding or patients. I need it scalable.

From memory.......there are fonts in Fusion 360 which you can extrude and export as an STL file.
Possibly something similar in other 3D drawing programs.

Just extrude a square base and extrude or emboss the fonts. You can always scale the STL in your slicer.

The image is really small and not very smooth. Is that what you were aiming at (hand drawn look)?

You can make an STL relatively easy from a black and white or grey scale image with different software but doesn't mean it will look good. As mentioned, Fusion360 can do it. If you want a smoother model, you will need a pre-made font for the words or hand drawn in a 2d/3d software.
