The model uses  OpenSCAD to create a custom name plate with your own text.

Many of the Oscar models require you to make a name plate in another CAD program and/or print it flat and bend it around the base when the print is still warm. This version gives you a rounded name plate that fits the base. And OpenSCAD files to create any text you want.

Using OpenSCAD 

• download OpenSCAD  https://openscad.org/downloads.html
• open the  .scad file  
• make any changes you need
• Use F5 to preview the model or via the menu Design/Preview 
• Once you are happy with the model use F6 to Render the model or via the menu Design/Render 
• Use F7 to Export the STL or via the menu File/Export/STL

You can find shortcuts for preview, render and STL on the menu bar 

Customising the Name Plate

• If you need to understand  the OpenSCAD language start here with the Cheat Sheet 
• Unzip the OpenSCAD archive
• Open the file OscarTextPlate.scad
  • set the text lines, you can set a lines 3 or 4 to = “”; if you don't need all 4 lines:

                    // Write the first line of your text
                     First_Text_Line = "Line 1";

                   // Write the second line of your text
                   Second_Text_Line = "Line 3";

                  // Write the third line of your text
                 Third_Text_Line = "Line 3";

                // Write the fourth line of your text
                 Fourth_Text_Line = "Line 4";

You can also choose Raised or Recessed text 

• raisedtext = true;

Adjust the size of the text

• textheight = 6;

If the text doesn't fit increase  the size/angle of the name plate . Below its 100 degress,

•  labelwarpangle = 100; // Change if text doesn't fit

• Use F5 to preview the model or via the menu Design/Preview 
• Once you are happy with the model use F6 to Render the model or via the menu Design/Render 
• Use F7 to Export the STL or via the menu File/Export/STL

Multi Colour Printing

You can print the nameplate text and body in different colours by exporting them as seperate STL files and combining the STLs in PrusaSlicer

Refer to this part of the OpenSCAD file 

// all , text , body 
//multi_material = "all";
//multi_material = "text";
//multi_material = "body";

1. Run OpenSCAD with multi_material = “text"  and save the STL ( F6 followed by F7 )
2. Run again with multi_material = "body" and save the STL
3. In PrusaSlicer import both STLs and answer Yes to the Prompt for Multi-part object detected
4. Set the Colours for each part
    

Suggested print settings

For Oscar Statue:

• Try Gold Silk PLA
• 4 perimeters
• 15% adaptive infill
• Hilbert Curve top surface
• Seam at Rear
• Organic Supports. Supports are needed for the Elbows. However even Organic supports leave some scaring on the bottom of the elbow so you may have to sand or file them.

For Oscar Base:

• 3 perimeters
• 15% adaptive infill
• no infill or brim

For Oscar Name Plate

• print with a brim
