Design Dog Tag with embedded text for 3D Printing

deonholt — Mon, 12 Dec 2022 15:54:00 GMT

Hi all and thanks for your help.

About two years ago I designed this name tag with the help of forum members. I now need to do it again but now I cannot remember how I did it. I can get up to here without a problem. (The tag is body #1) So I can cut the text out by extruding it. What I cannot get right, is to create/duplicate the same text and have it as the second body to be printed in another colour.

I know I followed a YouTube tutorial and now I cannot find that video again.

Please help me by telling me the exact wording to search for. I tried "how to embed text in dog tag with fusion 360" but I don't get the EMBEDDED part. (I designed the tag on the picture and now battle to remember the embedding. 🤔)

Thanks so long.

I don't know how that video was done, but here is how I would do it.

First, extrude [name] with New Body.

Subtract [name] from the tag in Combine. Turn on keep tools here.

Add color and you are done.

You may be looking for the Embosss command but Extrude will get similar results. Take a look at the video.

In the first image you posted, Embed is the other way around, so this is a good way to do it.

Explode [name].

Extrude outside of name.

The Combine part is the same as before.

Now we just need to change the color scheme and we are done.

Hi again.

Here is my effort. I think I did everything exactly as you have done on your video. I then save as mesh. But, when opening it up in a slicer, there is only one part.

Will you please check where I am messing up?

Thanks again.
