Keychain Tag 

This keychain tag is designed for use by firefighters wearing respiratory protection. These tags often serve to ensure the identification and status of a firefighter when entering a hazardous environment such as a burning building. They may contain crucial information such as the wearer's name or identification number. In some instances, such tags also aid in tracking the number of personnel on the scene and who is using which equipment.

Precise dimensions are shown in a model image. The text on the keychain is editable. 

Here are brief instructions on customizing the text:

1. Open the model in Bambu Studio or Orca Slicer.

2. Navigate to “Objects,” right-click on the text, and select “Edit Text.” Here you can modify the text, font, size, and positioning as desired.

3. If using an AMS (Automatic Material System), remember to print the text in a contrasting color for enhanced visibility and aesthetics.

4. Simply copy and paste to create additional name tags for printing.

Note for printing with AMS:

The print profile for the text will run at a reduced speed, and the “Smoothing” option is enabled on both print plates.

Alternative without AMS:

If printing without AMS, you can print the text in a different color on the second print plate from a height of 2.2 mm. Right-click on the height scale in the far-right preview tab and adjust the print settings accordingly.

Addendum: Below, I've included several images to visually guide you through the text editing process in Bambu Studio.

Comprehensive Bambu Studio Instructions (brief instructions above):

Objective: In this window, we will edit the text—explained in the following steps:

In the process, navigate to Objects, right-click on the text to be edited, and then select “Edit Text”:

Now you can modify the name/text.

Text suggestion: Arial, bold, size 7-8, thickness 0.6 mm:

Alternatively: Delete the text and add new text using the “T” button for text at the top. Caution: Deleting the text will erase my predefined print profile settings (e.g., reduced speed for text, smoothing, etc.).

Reduce print speeds slightly to ensure a clean typeface (select the text, then go to the “Speed” tab):

Remember to change the text color to a contrasting color.

This is how the finished product should appear :-) It can be repositioned using the yellow marker. :-)

Second method (two-color without AMS): Simply change the color from a specific height. 

This only works in the Preview tab; right-click on the height scale on the right, either add a stop to manually change the filament or directly select a color if AMS is available.

Enjoy.

This keychain tag model was designed and drawn by me, based on a template by Saskot. Having difficulty adapting the template with my name and text, I opted to redraw the design entirely. However, the new design's dimensions are quite similar to the template, so I wish to acknowledge Saskot.
