Open the Text Mold Maker guideHow To Use
Type your name or word in the Name / Word field and pick a font. Script and connected fonts work best; they merge naturally into a single flowing shape.
Set the Text Width to control how large your mold will be. Adjust Letter Spacing and Word Spacing to fine-tune the look, and enable Connected letter mode to merge overlapping glyphs into one solid outline.
Optionally add a Symbol beside the text. Choose position (left, right, or both sides) and scale it to match the text height.
Adjust Outline Thickness (the border around the letters) and Depth (how tall the stamp is). 2–3 mm outline and 15–20 mm depth works well for kinetic sand and clay.
Mirror Text is on by default so impressions read correctly in sand or clay. Uncheck it if you want the text un-mirrored, for example when cutting from the back side.
Check the 3D Preview to see how the mold will look when printed. The letters are recessed into the top of the stamp block. Rotate and zoom to inspect from any angle.
Download as STL or 3MF and print on any FDM printer. Print flat on the bed with the pocket side facing up. PLA at 0.2 mm layer height works great.
About
The Text Mold Maker is a free browser-based tool that turns any name, word, or short phrase into a 3D-printable mold or cookie cutter. It uses connected script fonts to merge letters into a single flowing shape, the same technique used by professional cookie cutter designers, so you get clean walls and no floating letter pieces.
It's designed for three main uses: kinetic sand and sand art (press the mold into sand and lift to leave a raised name), clay and play-doh (stamp into air-dry clay, polymer clay, or play-doh for craft projects and kids' activities), and cookie dough and fondant (cut personalised name cookies for birthdays, baby showers, and school events).
Download your design as an STL or 3MF file and print it on any FDM printer. No account required, no watermarks, and no limits on how many molds you make.
