✨ Decorative letter with engraved name – Parametric OpenSCAD model

This project is a fully parametric 3D decorative letter, ideal as a birth announcement keepsake, personalized decoration or freestanding display piece.

The first letter of the name forms the solid base, while the name is engraved directly into the letter and can be printed separately as a solid element.

The model is designed to:

• guarantee standing stability even with curved letters;
• allow full customization (name, font, dimensions, engraving depth);
• print the base and name as two separate parts.

✔️ Solid name that can be exported separately
✔️ Self-stabilizing base with automatic cutout for curved letters like O, C, S, G…
