Although it may not seem like it, it is something easy to do and according to what one of the products says more profitable<\/strong> to sell 3D models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make 3D name tags you will need a program like Photoshop, an online SVG file converter, and an online 3D modeling program like Tinkercad.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make keychains with 3D names:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: With Photoshop create a new file<\/strong> and choose the text tool. Then choose the letter that you like the most and write the name, when you finish export the file in PNG format<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Now open tinkercad<\/a> and import the SVG file you saved. Once imported, edit it to your liking and export the STL file<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Open the STL file with Cura Ultimaker or with your favorite Slicer and configure your preference settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: 3D print the name on your 3D printer<\/strong> and then add the key ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
