Starter project · Layered SVG

Make a “Mia” name keychain

You need: an Oxi account and Founder Edition or an available Free/legacy Name Keychains export. This project uses the built-in lettering and symbols; it does not need AI credits.

  1. Open Name Keychains. Choose Single under Names and enter Mia.
  2. Choose the lettering. Select a font under Type and symbol. Start with a bold font such as Anton. Choose a built-in symbol or leave it off for a simpler design.
  3. Set the size. Under Size and construction, try an Overall height of 30 mm and a Hardware hole of 4 mm as a starting example. Adjust the hole position for your hardware.
  4. Choose two colours. Set the Base colour and Detail colour. Review the live preview, including the displayed width and height in millimetres.
  5. Check the design. Make sure letters are legible, the backing supports the details and the attachment hole has enough surrounding material. Adjust Letter spacing or Thicken letters if needed. Material strength depends on your fabrication settings.
  6. Download SVG. Wait for the preview to finish updating, then choose Download SVG. On Free or a legacy plan, a new design uses one monthly Maker export; Founder Edition has unlimited exports. downloading the same unchanged design again does not use another. Bulk lists count each new name separately.
  7. Open the file and verify dimensions. The SVG has separate base and detail groups, with lettering converted to paths. For 3D printing, import it into a modelling tool that supports SVG, give the layers suitable thickness, then export a model to your slicer. For cutting, prepare the layers in your cutting software.

Finished result: a dimensioned, two-layer keychain SVG. It is not an STL or a ready-to-print 3MF. Check dimensions, attachment strength and your machine preview before making a test piece.

If something goes wrong: wait for fonts to load or choose another font; reduce letter spacing if the design is too wide; check your account allowance if download is blocked.

Model project · Coloured 3MF

Prepare your own model for a colour print

You need: a textured GLB you have permission to use, an Oxi account, Founder Edition or an available Free/legacy coloured 3MF export and a compatible slicer.

  1. Open Multi-Color 3D and import your textured model.
  2. Review the model from every side. Check that the texture and shape loaded as expected.
  3. Refine the palette and assign colours for the materials you intend to print. Inspect small details after reducing colours.
  4. Export a coloured 3MF. Uploading your own textured GLB and manual colour editing do not require AI generation; a new protected 3MF export uses the separate monthly allowance on Free/legacy plans and is unlimited on Founder Edition. Optional AI actions show their credit price before use.
  5. Open the 3MF in your slicer. Check scale, filament assignments, orientation, supports and the layer preview before printing.

Finished result: a coloured 3MF to review in your slicer. If colours look wrong, check filament assignments and the exported palette. If geometry is unsuitable, refine the source model before exporting again.

Photo project · Relief model

Turn a clear photo into a relief

You need: a photo you have permission to use, an Oxi account and enough credits for the processing options shown in the tool.

  1. Choose a sharp photo with one clear subject and a simple background. Avoid a heavily obscured face or object.
  2. Open Photo to 3D Relief, upload the image and review the processing options and displayed credit cost.
  3. Generate the depth result. Inspect the subject and background before continuing; depth is an interpretation of the photo, not a measurement.
  4. Build and preview the relief. Rotate the preview to inspect raised details and transitions. Adjust the available relief settings if features appear too flat or exaggerated.
  5. Download the relief model using the available model export. Import it into your slicer or CAM software and set the intended dimensions, thickness and manufacturing settings.

Finished result: a relief model for print or carving preparation. Inspect the layer preview or toolpath and make a small test before committing to a full-size piece. If the depth interpretation is poor, try a clearer crop or simpler source photo.
