Make a vintage house sign to 3D print.
14 vintage outlines, harlequin and stripes, your logo.
The House Signs generator makes a house or shop sign in a vintage style: a name in raised letters, a small line arched over it - Welcome to, Est. 2015 - and another along the foot, on a harlequin, diamond or striped ground flush in the face. A border in a second colour frames it, and an emblem or your logo sits over the name. It hangs on keyholes, screws, magnets or tape.
Examples
How to make a house sign
Pick the outline
14 vintage shapes; make it taller than wide to stand it upright.
Type the name
A family name, a house name, a shop or a number.
Add the small lines
One arched over the name, one under it, one at the foot.
Pick the ground
Harlequin, diamonds, stripes or a library pattern in a second colour.
Choose the mount
Keyholes, screws, magnets or tape.
Printing tips
The 3MF keeps each colour as its own object, so a printer with automatic filament changes (such as a Bambu Lab AMS) prints it in one go. With one colour, print every object in the same filament.
Questions
Can it be used outdoors?
For a porch or a shop front out of direct sun, print it in PETG or ASA rather than PLA.
Can I add my logo?
Upload an SVG, PNG or JPG. A picture is traced to one colour when it is uploaded; lines too thin for the nozzle are drawn bolder if you turn that on. You must hold the rights to what you upload.
How does it hang?
On two screws through keyholes, through countersunk holes, on magnets or on tape.
What file do I get?
A 3MF, which keeps each colour as its own object for a multi-colour printer, or an STL. Every file is checked before it downloads: closed (watertight) geometry, a single shell and walls thick enough to print.
Is it free?
The free plan gives 3 designs a month on each generator. Selling the printed pieces needs the Seller or Studio plan, which include the commercial licence.
Licence
On the Free and Maker plans you may print your designs for yourself and as gifts, not for sale. Selling the printed pieces needs the Seller or Studio plan, which include the commercial licence and a licence certificate for each design. Pieces made during the free beta, before paid plans launched, may still be sold on the terms of that time. The exported files themselves can never be resold or redistributed, on any plan.
