An alternative to using the Alibre Design software is to use the SketchUp for Schools or TinkerCAD online 3-D apps to make a name tag and then export it as an STL file ready for slicing and printing.
The keychain can be no longer than 3 inches, no wider than 2 inches, and no thicker than 3/8 inch including lettering. (3" x 2" x 0.375" = 76mm x 51mm x 10mm)
Save to your Google Drive folder with the filename of your username and "Nametag." Example: "CBright92_Nametag"
The corners of the name tag must be rounded.
One end of the name tag must have a hole in it no larger than 3/8 inch (0.375", 10mm)
Your first and/or last name on one side of the name tag.
The name tag needs to be a group with one watertight solid shape. Check that your name tag is printable with the Entity Info tool or the Solid Inspector.
Download and export an STL file to a USB drive or the same computer that has the slicing software.
