Text Line

Single-line stroke text in engraving style. Each character is drawn as a single stroke path — ideal for laser engraving, pen plotting, or decorative single-line labels.

Parameters

text
The string to render. Default: 3dsynth.
font (.shx)
Path to an SHX font file. Leave empty for built-in single-stroke font.
size (mm)
Font size in millimeters.
spacing
Letter spacing. 0 = default; positive values add space between characters.

How it works

Text Line produces disconnected stroke paths for each character. The engine inserts travel moves with retraction between strokes, so the nozzle lifts and moves without extruding when moving between letters or parts of a letter.
