Obsessive pedal lettering

Thanks for the excellent idea and tips. I want to try to 3D print a stencil. My idea is to use an SLA printer so the details/size tolerance can be way better than on an FDM one. By 3D printing, you can make several offset ones to make outlined text for example. That is the theory so far. I have to try it.

It would be cool to have some custom templates for standard/ repetitive stuff like In / out and 9v center negative symbols…

OMG, what a trip back in time. I remember 40+ yrs ago using a LeRoy lettering set for labeling data plots for publication. They really do make beautiful letters. The departments graphics arts office (with real graphic artists & draftsmen) had several sets with different fonts. And rapidograph pens with that amazing ink. Very classy - and actually quite appropriate when making classic old stompboxes.
