Save the PNG file to a folder and return to Photoshop
Now you will see how create a background for the keychain in case you want to do it like that.
you have to click «Capa» => «Estilo de capa» => «Opciones de fusión…»
En opciones de fusión te vas a situar sobre la opción de «resplandor exterior» y lo vas a configurar de manera que se forme una silueta alrededor del texto.
Haz clic en «Resplandor exterior» y luego configura las opciones de la siguiente manera:
Structure:
Items:
Quality:
When you finish setting up the outer glow your text should have transformed into something like this (see image below)
If everything went well, you can export the PNG file in the same way as the previous step and in the same folder.
Click on «Archivo» => «Exportar» => «Exportación rápida como PNG»
From this point on you are done using Photoshop.
Go to the website convertio.co and load the PNG files
Haz clic donde dice «selecciona los archivos» y cuando se abra la ventana elige los archivos PNG que guardaste.
once loaded Select the option convert to SVG
Now click on convert and then download those files
Once you have your two PNG files converted to SVG you can move on to the next step which is to open Tinkercad to edit them.
Opens the home page of tinkercad
You can log in to Tinkercad with your Google account, it's free.
On the next screen choose to create a new 3D design
Luego en tu plano de trabajo selecciona «importar»
Ahora elige tu archivo SVG del nombre y haz clic en «importar»
Once you have imported the file with the name in SVG format, you can resize it to fit into your workspace.
I think about 70 millimeters wide will be fine. You can modify this to your liking.
Then modify its height so that it is approximately 6 millimeters.
Now you need to add a reinforcing base below the letters.
(This is where you will choose whether to use the background you exported from Photoshop or create a simple one for the letters., if you choose the background made in Photoshop then you import it and place it below the text. I am going to continue with the example of the name in 3D)
Elige en la barra de «formas básicas» (a la derecha) la forma «Cube«
Make sure you give it the same width and height measurements as the name. (In my case 70 mm x 6 mm)
In the example I'm going to place it below, overlapping the letters with the rectangle so that they come together and join together.
Now you need to make a hole for the key ring to go through.
In the basic shapes bar on the right choose a transparent cylinder.
Then give it some measurements of 3 mm x 3 mm and a height of 7 mm.
Ahora selecciona todo y usa la opción de «Agrupar»
If everything went well, you should end up with something like this, in the same color (see image below)
Now you need to export the STL file so you can open it in Slicer and print it.
Select the model and haz clic en «Exportar»
And ready! You already have your keychain in STL format ready to open with the Slicer and print it.

I am going to use a filler of 100% because I want this keychain to be firm and last a long time.
Other than that there shouldn't be any problems as it will be an easy print without supports.
When you have everything ready, do the segmentation and save your STL Keychain file on the 3D printer's micro SD.
Once you have the printed model in your hands you can add the rings of the key chain.
Done, now you know how to print names in 3D with any font from Photoshop.
I know there are a lot of videos on YouTube, but sometimes I feel the need to read a step-by-step guide a little more calmly without having to pause the video and at the same time it is already recorded on the blog for whoever needs it.
I welcome any constructive criticism that helps me grow in the comments.
Thank you very much and good luck with your projects…
