thingiverse

Example on how to create 3D things from a Windows font. Instructions Download and install DeskEngrave from http://www.deskam.com/deskengrave.html Open it up Enter the text you want Select "Cent" for alignment From the menu, select Create->Select Font Choose a suitable font. Not every font works. For some reason some get not filled when extruded. One that worked well in my tests is Cooper Black (Bold) Choose 72 for the size Click the "F" button Save DXF using File->Save as DXF Then you can use the DXF to create extruded objects. I attached a OpenSCAD script as an example, modify it for you needs
