When adding 3D text to an object:
- Does the embedded text value measure from the front of the text, or from the wall of the part? In other words, does it include the thickness of the text protruding from its background wall, or to the embedded portion of that text only?
- Why does embedded depth not work when printing text of the same color as the background? I’m talking about surfaces with a vertical component. When you add text to these surfaces, and the text is a different color, the slicer will anchor the text into the wall of the part according to the embedded depth. The text that projects from the part is sliced so that it also extends into the part for anchoring. But for same-color text on a vertically sloped surface, the text is simply added as blobs of filament on the outside of the wall, where they will easily scrape off. If the layer lines for the text were embedded into the wall (which is what we want but cannot get for same-color text and text background prints) then the text would be robustly part of the part.
