These models can be used to test the sans fonts of onshape CAD in different sizes and you can change the demo text and size as parameters.

Printing

Slict the sizes you want to test; the dash in the file names must be read as a decimal point, i.e. onshape-fonttest_sans_12_3-75mm.stl is the file with 3.75mm font height/size.

Select the other print settings according to your real project to see which fonts will work.

Source and parameters

The original files can be accessed and changed at onshape font test/demo: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/4b81a06adf8eb3e2c5c0c963/w/290f9511863bb1c905ffed43/e/6f30e55d01553e01058caff7

The model there uses the following variables. If you want to change multiple variables at once position the roll back bar before the text sketch to save some regeneration time.

#LayerHeight

#BaseHeightLayers = number of layers for the base plate

#TextHeightLayers = number of layers for the text

#DemoFontSize = size of the text to be tested

#DemoText = demo text to be used*

#DemoTextWidth = width if the demo text (used for proper spacing), given as a multiple of #DemoFontSize

#InfoTextFontSize = size for the info line at the top

#FontNameWidth = with of the font name column (used for proper spacing), given as a multiple of #DemoFontSize

#FontSepY = vertical distance between the rows

#Border = border around the whole text for the base size

#SizeX (measured) = total size in horizontal direction

#SizeY (measured) = total size in vertical direction

* Please note that the font Didact Gothic has a bug causing the character 2 to not be extrudable in small sizes, thus the demo text may not contain it.
