Sometimes simple things are just better: here you have a simple key tag that prints well with any printer, is not clunky, can be customized for arbitrary text and still looks good ;-)
To change the text, just open the `.scad` file in OpenSCAD and change the text in customizer.
You need a stencil font for the text – I recommend the *Scriber Bold Stencil* font available free of charge for personal use [here](https://blogfonts.com/scriber-bold-stencil.font). The `.stl` models use that font, hence the non-commercial license.
I discourage from using Thingiverse Customizer for this model – it's missing sane stencil fonts afaik.
Unless you put too much text on it, the tag is roughly of the size of a key.
I actually use a tag of this kind that I designed and printed in PLA several years ago, and it lasts. Now I've redesigned the source file to be customizable.
