Customizable House Number Sign - 10 Shapes & Fonts

Ultimate Parametric Sign: 10 Shapes & Unlimet Custom Fonts

Description

This is a high-end Parametric House & Room Number Sign generator. Unlike basic static models, this OpenSCAD-powered tool allows you to control every geometric and typographic detail to create a professional-grade plaque.

🌟 Advanced Features

1. Unlimited Typography & Custom Fonts

• Presets: Includes over 30+ curated fonts, from elegant serifs to bold modern styles.
• System Fonts: By toggling Use_Custom_Font, you can manually enter any font installed on your system (e.g., "Arial:style=Bold"), giving you total creative freedom beyond the defaults.

2. Mirror Mode for Perfect Surfaces

• Texture First: Enable Mirror_Flip to flip the entire design. This allows you to print the sign face-down on your build plate (e.g., Textured PEI).
• The Result: A perfectly flat, professional surface finish where the text is flush with the plate, eliminating top-layer line artifacts.

3. Precision Bridge Logic & Manual Tuning

• Island Support: Characters like "0, 8, A, P" have center "islands." The Enable_Bridge function adds support pillars to keep these pieces from falling out.
• Manual Offset: If a support pillar blocks a specific part of a letter, use the Target and Offset settings to slide the pillar left or right for the perfect aesthetic balance.

4. 10 Geometric Base Shapes

• Choose from Circle, Square, Hexagon, Octagon, Pentagon, Rub al Hizb (8-point star), Hexagram, Capsule, Ellipse, or Diamond.
• Bevel Control: Adjust the Bevel_Radius to switch between sharp industrial corners and smooth, rounded edges.

5. Fully Adjustable Mounting

• Configure 0 to 4 screw holes.
• Every hole has independent X and Y coordinate controls, allowing you to match existing wall holes or create a perfectly centered single-point mount.

Printing Instructions

1. For Stencil Fonts: If you choose a font from the "Stencil" category, set Enable_Bridge to false to maintain the stencil look.
2. Orientation: For the best look, enable Mirror_Flip and print face-down.
3. Accuracy: Set $fn to 64 or 128 for the final export to ensure perfectly smooth curves.

Wall Mounting Note: This model is compatible with my IKEA Skadis Universal Mounting Kit. You can download the spacers, screw retainers, and decorative caps here
