Comply with the legal requirement for address identification and troll typography nerds at the same time with these house or mailbox numbers.
These are 3.5"-tall digits, 5mm thick. That's 89mm, and yes, I used the double-quote for inches, you can't stop me. There's a slight bevel at the back which may give it a hint of a "floating" look. The 3.5" is actually the ascent, so the physical size of the Papyrus digits is more like 2.5", and the physical size of the Comic Sans digits is a bit larger than 3.5". You should use your slicer to scale the digits up or down to whatever size you need.
There's no provision for attaching them. Print them in PLA and stick them up with double-sided tape for a quick joke. For anything longer term, I'd drill holes for nails/screws, print in ABS, and paint them for better UV resistance.
The Papyrus font has a thin stroke width with some deep cuts, and that makes the '1' in particular is difficult to remove from the printer without breaking.
