App to create dual text illusion

Dear Ironskintattooart! Thank you for ing my program!

Does the program give any message at the end of its work? Like "Access denied".

1) After finishing, the program places the Amazing.stl file in the same folder where the program itself is located. You may be running the program from a zip archive, and the program is trying to write the results file back into the archive. It is best to first unzip the program into any folder, for example D:/Amazing/.
2) For some s who encounter this error, the application starts working when they select “run as ”.

Please try this and if it doesn't work, please message me. Thank you for your !

Dear StoryBookLovePhotoBooth! Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you for your advice! Almost all new programs are what s of previous programs suggested me to implement)) Therefore, I take advice and wishes very seriously, carefully write it down in a plan, sort it and implement it.

I also really love this program, and I have printed out dozens of such double illusions for my family, friends and colleagues.
Thank you for your !

Dear PA1_Maker!
I often see your new models on Cults, I you and rejoice at your success. I especially love your wonderful bird houses!

As for the letter stand. This is a very strange problem. I have a list of several problems that people have encountered among the 2000 s of this program, but this problem has not yet occurred. If you don't change any of the settings, the program should create a background by default.

Could it be that the viewer or slicer you are using is not showing the stand? The peculiarity of this 3D model is that the letters are first created as separate bodies, then a substrate is superimposed (intersected) on them. I know that slicers have modes that control this kind of intersection.

There is also the idea that the STL is quite large in size, and the viewer or slicer may not read it completely. The stand is written at the very end of the STL file. Then part of the letters and stand will not be on display.

If it’s a matter of size, then you can set the "voxels in letters height" parameter smaller.

I use this online viewer - it should show the entire model.

Please write if you can solve this problem. Let's make the program work for you.

I am very proud that I can communicate with such a wonderful designer like you!
And I envy your 900 subscribers on Patreon at 10 usd, I still only have 100 subscribers at 5 usd ((
Do you have any secret in this? )

Thank you very much for your kind words!

Dear Rodolfopulido! Thank you for your interest in my program! The words can be of different lengths, you can even use several short words on each side. The program automatically centers words, filling empty characters on the right and left with rectangles or hearts (can be selected with a special checkbox)

Thanks i already buy it, and its great...i have a question how can be set this on one face Monica's and on the other side Pet Style, any idea?

If you are asking about the apostrophe " ' ", then such a small character would hang in the air, so the program will not display it.

I think you can write "Monica" or "Monicas".

And if you are asking about the number of words and spaces, then everything is fine: the program will automatically distribute the words "Pet Style" and "Monica" in the center and fill the extra spaces with rectangles or hearts (your choice)

Dear Niteshsewnandan! Thank you for ing the program to create dual text illusion!

You are right, the picture in the product card shows the interface form of the old version 1.4, but when ing the program you should have received the latest version 1.9. I'll change this picture in a few days to avoid confusing people. Thank you!

Dear 3DPrinter456! Thank you for ing the program!

Many people have written to me that they successfully use my programs on the Mac operating system with the help of the additional WineHQ program. This program allows to use applications developed for Windows in MacOS. My programs have low system requirements and use only basic operations in the operating system, so they work well through WineHQ.

When I first started releasing software, it was illogical to two operating systems at once. However, now that the programs are fine-tuned, I should probably find a programmer to help compile all the released programs for macOS. I'll try to get it done within a couple of weeks and complete the here with a macOS version.

Thank You!

Hello, did you manage to create the program under macOS?

I'm a Mac and have used wine to create mine.

Dear RJH! Thank you for ing the program!

At the moment, the program uses the voxel principle: the model consists of cubes. For a smoother model, we can reduce the size of the cubes so that it is smaller than the height of the layer.

To improve the quality of the model, you can increase the "Quality" parameter in the program from 90 to 150.

Then each letter will consist of 150 layers of cubes in height. For conventional FDM printers with a layer height of 0.2 mm, this will print very smooth letters up to a letter height of 30 mm (0.2*150).

And most of the illusions that I print to my friends have a letter height of about 15-20 mm, that is, the smoothness of the letters is determined only by the layering of the printer.

Please note that printed letters look much better than what is seen in the viewer. For example, in this video https://youtu.be/Evy4t960iwE, the height of the letters is only 60 rows (not 150), and even with such a rough model, the rows are almost invisible.

Thank you for your !

What should use for smooth letters for PLA and a .4 nozzle?

Did not work with Mac via wineHQ.

Dear Shayansmart!
if the "access denied" message is displayed, you may be running the program from the archive, and after its operation it tries to write the file Amazing.stl with the results of the work to the same place where the program is located, that is, back to the archive and cannot. Therefore, please first unzip the program to a separate folder (for example D:/Amazing/) or desktop and run it from there

Thank you for your ! Yes, thank you for your suggestion. I just added it to the list of improvements and found that this suggestion is quite common. Therefore, yes, I plan to make this and a couple more improvements to the program within the next 5-10 days and release it. After that, you will receive a notification and you can a new version of the program for free.

Dear Xalza! Thank you for ing the program! Please tell me which slicer do you use? I know that most slicers normally open STLs created by my programs: Cura, RepetierHost, Chitubox et.al.

Hi, I use flashprint slicer (Flashforge 3d printers software). However it works on cure fine but i have to transfer it everytime after exporting form cura

Dear 3DLovers! Thank you for ing the program!
Yes, now the program has the ability to increase the resolution. To do this, please change the Quality parameter from 90 to 150 voxels in the height of the letter.

Ok, thanks. Now we eagerly await the update to 300 voxels ;-)

Yes) I'm currently working on an algorithm that will generally turn a voxel array into smooth objects, then even at a resolution of 100, the edges will not be visible.

Dear Cgoncalvess! Thank you for your interest to the program! if you accidentally purchased the wrong program that you wanted, please email me to [email protected], I will be happy to send you the program you have chosen.

Please tell me in more detail: what should the program turn the JPG into?

By now the following 6 programs out of eight are processing JPG:
- Amazing STL Creator 3: Switchable Business Card
- Amazing STL Creator 4: Keychains
- Amazing STL Creator 5: Decorations
- Amazing STL Creator 6: Cookie Cutters
- Amazing STL Creator 7: Lithophany and Bas-relief
- Amaizng STL Creator 8: Bobble Head

Dear Veldorm! Thank you for your interest to the program! Many people who use MAC have written to me that the "Amazing STL Creator" programs work well with the additional WineHQ program. I will now add this solution to the program description

Dear Coleybeatz! What if I send you 2 more of my programs (for creating keychains and for creating switchable business cards) for you to try them. Perhaps other programs will work well. Please send me a email to [email protected], I will send you back the links to programs.

That would be ok but I really like this programme and wanted to do a wedding present so I’d rather you do me a favour and make on for me and send me the file let me know if that’s ok and I’ll email you

Dear Coleybeatz! I answered to your email. I'll be happy to make text illusions for you. This takes me a few minutes. I will be glad to help you at least in this way. Please send me WORD1 + WORD2 and I will send you the text illusion file

Dear Adi90! Thank you very much for using the program! Please use scale coefficient in slicer program to make the model bigger. Vertcal coefficient changes proportion between height and width of the letters. Deepening means what part of the letter is under the substrate.

IT SAYS ACCES DENIED

Dear Coleybeatz! Such an error may occur when the program cannot write the Amazing.stl file with the results of the work. For maximum simplicity, the program overwrites each time in the same Amazing.stl file. Therefore, if you created an Amazing.stl file and opened it in some other program (for example, for viewing), then the "Amazing STL Creator" program will not be able to write a new STL into it. Please check that the Amazing.stl file is not open in another program. Please write if this does not solve your problem.

it's definitely a great idea to use symbols instead of placeholders. Now I'm wondering if it can be implemented quickly. The problem is not to choose some symbol, but that it must be deepened into the substrate and at the same time look the same as before. There will be a problem with the "heart" symbol that it will turn into an "ass" if it is deepened into a substrate( But it is possible to add a stick to the bottom of the heart

Thanks for your responce. I will wait for the update

I have the same problem, first name is 8 letters, last name is 7. How can I add Unicode Character “⚛” (U+269B)? When I add to last name, it moves first name one to the right (removing last letter) and adds a placeholder at the start.

Dear ImWacco! Thank you very much for ing my programs!

In the double text illusion program, unlike my other programs, I cannot allow the to use arbitrary unicode characters. Because many characters will not overlap the opposite letter in height (* - + ' " . , ~ et.al.). And many characters have two or more parts and can hang in the air (: ; %, et.al.)

if I allowed arbitrary characters in the program, many s would write that they had a mistake: the letters would crumble or not overlap.

Therefore, I planned that the program would work only with English letters.

I like Mr. Chaitanyar's suggestion that the program should allow to choose (from a short list) a character as a placeholder, such as 'hearts'. And another friend of mine also asked to add a heart as a placeholder. I think this is a great idea, and it is planned for the next update of the program. Right now I'm in a hurry to release the next program 'Amazing STL Creator 5', after that I plan to add a heart to the program for dual text illusion.

Maybe come at it from the other way? Not a new character from Unicode, but a block with a hole in it? In this case, a hart shaped hole. Or a check-mark like Unicode Character “✅” (U+2705).
I'm not a coder/programmer...I'm a hardware geek that sometimes dose art. I don't know what format you need, but if you can tell me how your letters are stored, I can probably come up with something to add to the project. Maybe you can add a drop-down with "Fill placeholders with:"?

Thank you for your time, I can't wait for Amazing STL Creator 5. You're doing some amazing work.

P.S. I don't know any Slavic languages, sorry if there's any slang that's not coming across

Dear ImWacco! Thank you for your advances! Yes, I think this is a great idea to use block with a hole or shaped hole.

I will definitely do this drop down list with possible placeholders, probably in a week. And you will receive a message that you can the new version of the program for free. I just want to release the 'Amazing STL Creator 5' before that in order to the program in this message ;) Program updates allow me to new programs. Therefore, I intend to gradually update all programs and bring them to perfection.

Please advice me. I plan to develop 30 of these small programs from the 'Amazing STL Creator' series. Tell me please, what programs would you like to see next, what programs would people be interested in? Recently, a few people suggested that I make a program for keychains, I did, and people really like it! What else might interest people who love 3D printing?

There's one thing I've been looking forward to printing, but the maths is going to drive me crazy. A digital sundial, but you have to know all sorts of crazy stuff to make it work. And only works in northern hemisphere. If you could program an app to print with just the input of longitude and latitude, with a magnetic north arrow. I have no idea about Daylight Savings Time offset.

Your business card reminded me of that, I was wondering how many I would have to print to make a clock with 5min marks (6:28 am to 8:45 pm) and what degree for each. That would be 86, assuming you get two different times from each card

"allow me to new programs" No, allow me :-)

By the way, I can confirm that the 3 programs that I got from you work in Linux with WineHQ

Wow! I like this Beatles)

"with WineHQ" Thank you! Many people are trying to use such programs for Linux, and WineHQ is a wonderful way

Theoretically it is not too hard to create digital sundial. I like videos with that sundial. But I am afraid it will be hard to print the sundial in quality for many people. Some people had difficulties with my switchable card program

Just wanted to pop in and Thank You! for adding the hearts.

I did have one other idea, but it's not as cool as the other stuff you've been making. Auto adapter STL... In my case, I need it for my Vacuum Cleaner/Hoover (пилосос/Гувер?).
Input the Outer Diameter or Inner Diameter and Length. It also might be helpful to make different shapes, not just for vacuums:
PC fan, car cup holder, rain gutters, Hitch Receiver, porch posts to add solar lights, air beds, motor for model rockets... just off the top of my head

Dear Garret! Yes, let's try to increase resolution. This model consists of voxels. Every letter is 90 voxels height. I can make the voxels twice smaller, and height of letters will be 180 voxels.

However, due to the large number of voxels, the size of the STL will also increase by 2*2=4 times. This is not a big problem, modern slicers (Cura for example) work fine with files up to 1 GB and more

What do you think? I can do it quickly, in a day. Please write me, will you be able to work with a larger size STL (400-600 MB)? I will be glad to make new version of the program with a high resolution option.

Hello Victor
Thanks for the prompt response. I use Lychee as the slicer and I am sure it can deal with big files.
I am quite new to 3D printing and I wanted to do a 3 letter word for my daughter.
Greetings from South Africa.
Gareth

That's great. Give me a day. I will correct the program and write you here

No hurry at all - have a great evening

Dear Gareth, I improved the program. Now the letters are 1.7 times smoother (150 voxels in the height of the letter instead of 90). There is a window for choosing the quality. As I understand, you need to the program again from this page. If you are satisfied with the program, please rate 5 stars on this page) Please me if you have any questions or problems. Victor

Thank you very much Victor - I will try it out tomorrow and let you know.
Cheers. Gareth

Thank you very much for the kind words! Thank you for your makes! I can't wait to develop and release 30 more simple programs like this)

Bonjour es que si j'achete le programme es que nous avons les mises jours ?. Es que vous avez un programme juste pour faire carte de visite ou autre sans illusion?
