House Number with Drilling Template

House number with drilling template

Update 2024-12-02: Digit 2 corrected and capital letter A added.

Please note: The images are sample images, as the principles apply equally to all numbers and symbols!

The following symbols are available:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, f, A, B, + (plus), - (minus), / (slash)

The “nummern.3mf” file contains all numbers and symbols, each together with a drilling template. The drilling template also contains the mounts for the number. For printing, the drilling template and the number must be placed in the print area.

Font size: 150mm.

I cannot provide finished STL files as the print file contains modifications in the slicer. Therefore, please use the project file.

I recommend PETG for outdoor use.

I have added longer holder elements as separate parts. These holders can replace the original parts after the holes have been prepared using a drilling template.

Slicer settings (see screenshots):

Drilling template (surface):

• Infill density: 10%
• Infill pattern: honeycomb
• Layers and perimeter: Solid bottom layers: 0
• Layers and perimeter: Perimeter: 3
• Layers and perimeter: Top solid layers: 0

Holders (are part of the drilling template):

• Infill density: 90%

Number:

• Infill: 5-10%

Suitable screw diameter: 3.5mm.

Instructions:

1. Drag the desired drilling template into the print area.
2. Print the drilling template in the desired color (e.g. to match the wall color). Note the different slicer settings for the template and the holders and number!
3. Drag the desired number into the print area.
4. Print the number in the desired color.
5. Optional: Print additional templates and numbers.
6. Align the drilling templates on the wall. Temporarily attach them with adhesive tape.
7. Optional (depending on the surface): Mark the holes if you need to drill and drill the holes. The intended screws have a diameter of 3.5 mm.
8. Screw the holders firmly.
9. Carefully remove the template, using a sharp knife if necessary.
10. Mount the number on the holders.
11. Optional: Secure the numbers with the safety element (see pictures).

I look forward to your feedback!
