This enhancement adds the ability to engrave custom text directly onto Gridfinity sliding lids, addressing the issue where labels can't be seen when the lid is closed.
New Features
Six new text parameters added to
gridfinity_sliding_lid.scad:sliding_lid_text_enabled- Enable/disable text on lid (default: false)sliding_lid_text- Custom text content (default: "Gridfinity")sliding_lid_text_size- Font size in mm (0 = auto-size)sliding_lid_text_depth- Engraving depth in mm (default: 0.3)sliding_lid_text_font- Font selection (default: "Aldo")sliding_lid_text_position- Text alignment: left/center/right (default: "center")Implementation
The text is rendered as engraved negative space on the lid surface using
linear_extrude(). Key features include:text_size = 0, font size is automatically calculated to fit lid dimensionsUsage Example
This allows users to identify bin contents even when sliding lids are closed, solving the visibility issue described in the original request.
Fixes #197.
