Update: Added height map supportThis is an OpenSCAD module that let's you easily (well kinda) create 3D text. I've emulated the Atari 8-Bit fonts A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and most punctuation. You can create them a letter at a time or pass an array of characters. (OpenSCAD doesn't have any real string manipulation)It also has a bitmap module that you can use to define your own fonts. It's pretty simple, you pass it an array of numbers (the number defines the height modifier, so a height of 5 and a value in array of 2 would make that pixel 10mm high), then tell it how many bits per row and it creates cubes (of configurable width and height) in a grid and combines them into a single shape.Be careful when defining your own bitmaps in that you can't have two bits only connected diagonally. Otherwise OpenSCAD will say it's not manifold. For instance you can't have:But you can have:I'll try to keep this up to date, but you can always find the latest version on github at http://github.com/tbuser/openscad-bitmapFor examples see:Parametric Name Tag: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2055Parametric Alphabet Block: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2056OpenSCAD Height Map: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2070Include bitmap.scad:
