Summary

An open scad script which allows you to make panels with text embossed on them. You will need the Write.scad library from https://github.com/rohieb/Write.scad. You can optionally include a tab to make the panel easier to pick up.

I uses these as labels to identify the content of parts boxes made using http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1132375.

Set the parameters in the script for your specific needs. A few examples are included. I recommend using a text size no smaller than 6. Smaller sizes sometimes work and sometimes lose some parts of the characters.

Update: the Thingiverse customizer works with this, as they don't have the Write.scad library, so I've turned off the customization feature for it.
