Those are great! Nicely done. It's little things like that that they can really appreciate sometimes.

Now I want to get an MMU for my prusa 🤦‍♂️

I loved those. Do you have any guide on how to design 2D text to print for cake toppers like this?

[–] GodzillaSpark@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

we bought the cake topper from Amazon. Only the question marks are printed

Ah, I see. Thank you for your answer

Those look pretty large, how long did it take you to print all of them?
What printer did you use?

They’re 125x125x125. I was able to personalize the boxes with the x1c with AMS.

I think they took around 4-5 hrs each. About another hour for the personalized covers.

What software did you use to create the covers?

I've been printing a ton lately, but I haven't gotten into inlaying different colors or custom text.

I can research it myself, but it would be helpful to have a software recommendation to get started.
