Make your own plant labels

Print & engrave

For every plant there are plant labels for the 3D printer and the laser. This page only covers what applies to our files.

The files

On every plant's page, under "Take it with you", you'll find three plant labels – Name, Botanical name and Full – each as STL, 3MF and SVG.

The full label is 141 × 58 mm for every plant (without the stake). It shows the name, the botanical name, and light and water as five symbols each – the same levels as in the fact sheet, explained in the basics – plus a QR code to the plant's page. Up to the plant's level the symbols are raised, the rest are sunk 0.4 mm into the plate. The QR code needs contrast: a light plate and dark lettering.

3D printing

Laser

The SVG file is set up in millimetres, with the layers separated by colour: red cut (outline), black engrave (lettering, symbols, QR code), blue score (empty level symbols). For a ready-made blank, say made of metal, switch off the red layer and just engrave.
