I’ve been using my organic modeling app to fit the text into a 30° pie slice, mirror it so that it becomes 60°, then add a modifier to multiply it six times on a circle, which I then export to .stl and print on a 3D printer. Are the steps to create such a thing just about as simple in Shapr3D? Anyway, I thought I’d include the animation in case it might give anybody a holiday gift idea.
