Bottle name tag

A name tag hanging bottle.

You can customize the text of name by yourself. Even multibyte-characters or Emoji can be used if TTF fonts are prepared !

How You Customize This

Prepare FreeCAD
If you don't have FreeCAD, download and install it.
https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Download

Prepare fonts
You can find TTF files in your system. You can also download from web sites. Attached ttf fonts were obtained from the following sites.
* Free Times font
* IPA Japanese font
* Google Noto Emoji font

Modify python macro
- First, you have to input directory path where ttf file.
- Second, modify tag text
- Run macro to generate 3D model !!

Extract .py.zip file and open the python macro on FreeCAD. Then you find a small macro in our editor. You might think it's not small, but an important part to generate the models is only from line 93 to line 121.

Find the following code, and replace the parameter "fontDir" to a full path of your directory where ttf files are in it. The example starting with "/Users/(username)/" is typical MacOS file path. Windows' path should start with "C:".

#######################################
# Dir path for TTF font
#######################################
fontDir = "/Users/SOMEONE/SOMEWHERE/Fonts/"

After your replaceing the directory path, the macro should generate the demo name tags. Try clicking Run button of macro to generate 3D mdoels. If you cannot find Run macro button, select menu of View>Tool bar>Macro. Report view and Python console panel (View>Panel>Report view, Python console) will help you understand what is going on.

Now if you can see 3D models, let's modify text on the tag. Find "addText" command at line 108 in the following code. Change the text "Name" to what you want to add on the name tag, then run the macro. You should see that text on the 3D model.

• Method "addText" will add 3D text string on the name tag.
• Method "cutText" will cut or make hole shaping a text string.
• size: font size
• left: distance from left edge
• bottom: distance from bottom edge
• font: font file path defined above.

Enjoy !!

No

Resolution:
Higher is better, depends on text size

No

Filament_material:
ABS(preferred), PLA

Notes:
Since a tag and connectors between the tag and a ring is thin, raft might be necessary. PLA tends to make small strings between characters, ABS would make better quality.
