Text - ISO add 45 degree draft function

[tocguy]

Forum Search tool didn’t reveal this being discussed previously but it just seems like what I’m seeking might be easily handled natively or with extension so am looking to get educated here.
3D printed elements need support depending on many factors, trial and error, learning curve, etc. I’m experimenting with engraved text and am seeking a tool that will turn a normal SU text character into one that has a 45-degree draft applied to as shown in the pic rather than the standard, straight extrusion…

Thx

I haven’t heard of any tools that will do that, but it would be pretty easy to do manually. Except with curved letters, “a” and “e” being two examples of that. A tool that does that would be pretty handy to have. Why don’t you Google it and see?

If you don’t have too many letters, you could use Scale about centre to shrink the front face of each letter to give a 45 deg bevel.
