Hex Guitar Pick (Customizable in slicer)

About:

I thought that it would be fun to design a pick that is matching my Hex ukulele. I also love new features of Prusa Slicer 2.6 alpha 6 (especially Klipper support). So combining those things with Hex font i found - I have created a pick that you can customize directly in Prusa Slicer.

Steps to print this pick:

• Install Hex font (available here)
• Open proper 3mf file in Prusa Slicer (2.6 alpha 5 or newer).
• Change Printer and filament and other settings to whatever works with your printer
• On plater tab double click the text part of the pick to open text settings
• Edit text (see below for instructions)
• Slice
• Check if there is a color change in your sliced file and if it is on correct layer. If not - add one.

How to edit the text

The details are in the PDF attached to the font. Below short instruction.

The text will have four characters:

1. The number for frame (1 - thinner, 3 - thicker, other - fancy decorative - check PDF)
2. Left letter (use small letter, like ‘h’)
3. Middle letter (use capital letter, like ‘E’)
4. Right letter. This can be a hard one:
   1. Use your system character map (For Windows press Win+R and type charmap.exe)
   2. Select Hex font.
   3. Scroll down to user defined letters (starting at U+E000)
   4. Copy letter you want and paste it to Prusa Slicer.

That's it :). You can print multiple picks with different texts.

PS. Don't forget to print Hex ukulele that is matching this picks ;)
