Be careful when defining your own bitmaps in that you can't have two bits only connected diagonally. 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. Chapter 5: Using multiple scripts and libraries. Chapter 4: Introducing modules to organize the code. Chapter 3: Resizing models and more ways of combining objects. The standard OpenSCAD fonts work well for a simple extrusion 3D profile. Chapter 2: Scaling the model and first steps for parameterizing models. I did try installing all the google fonts locally and that didnt fix. I noticed this question was asked in the comment section but nobody seemed to get an answer so Im asking here. (OpenSCAD doesn't have any real string manipulation) It also has a bitmap module that you can use to define your own fonts. Chapter 1: A few words about OpenSCAD and getting started with the first object. Im trying to change the font on this thingiverse design but custimizer in thingiverse doesnt work and when I open it with openscad I cant seem to change the fonts. You can create them a letter at a time or pass an array of characters. I've emulated the Atari 8-Bit fonts A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and most punctuation. Update: Added height map support This is an OpenSCAD module that let's you easily (well kinda) create 3D text.
