I've been trying to add lettering to my suppressors using Chatgpt, but feel like I'm arguing with a wall. I'm pretty dumb when it comes to CAD programs. I just want to add name, town, caliber, sn. Any suggestions?

What slicer do you use?
Bambu will let you labeled items with raised, cut, or differently colored text via the Text Shape tool (hotkey T).

Orca slicer is simple.  Right click model > Add negative part > Text.

Use the advanced settings and click "use surface" when applying to a curved part so it follows that curve.

When is the last time cura was updated?

If cura doesn't have native text emboss/deboss, just download either Prusa Slicer or Orca Slicer, setup with whatever, import the file, add text, export as stl. Import that into cura, then go.


or just stay with Orca slicer.
Once you realize that all power comes from the credible threat of the use of deadly force, and the gov't hates you, most things become easy to understand..
