  1. I have a couple of quick questions and wanted to bring back up an older post to see if anything has changed in the last 7 years to make the process easier. Attached is a picture posted by gr5 back in 2017 and a link to the thread. This is the best example I could find on the internet that is attached to a person. I would need my lettering a bit smaller, but this is as close to perfect as I have come across. I have messaged gr5, but just wanted to put it out there again to see if anything has changed over the last 7 years to make this process easier: specific printers, specific slicers, specific slicer settings, etc. Any information is greatly appreciated! 1. In the thread gr5 is using an Ultimaker 2 in order to do this and swapping out the filaments after the first print. I am assuming you should completely print the letters in red first and then print the white shell around them? Do you have to doing anything special with your lettering in your cad program? Like "beveling"? I see that as a possible solution but it would be difficult to redo for everything I have. Each printer I have tried this on, makes the nozzle run into the already printed letters. 2. Are you using Ultimaker Cura to slice? If so, do you mind filling me in on your specific Cura settings? Are you "grouping" or "merging" the prints together? I am currently exporting the two models from my cad program (tinkercad) I am exporting them from the exact positions they need to be and then merging them in cura. I am struggling with my 3d printer running into the letters I have printed, as it is printing the shell around it. 3. Is there a 3D printer you would highly recommend for a job like this? Or any other slicing program/specific settings you would recommend for this? Would Prusa make this easier for me? Seriously would welcome ANY input😃
