Creating labels

Every EdgeLabel and Classic Pro drawer front takes a swappable printed label. The MODULITH Label Studio is the fast path; the slicer path makes anything you can type or draw.

Sizes: W is width (1W = 88 mm) and H is height (1H = 56 mm, 0.5H is half of that). The collection number - 115, 185, 240 - is the case depth in mm.

No printer time to spare?

A label maker works too - the label area is a flat face on both series. The printed label is the option that matches the front and swaps with the contents.

What you'll need

Quantities depend on your layout - the Planner works them out for your build, and every official kit lists them exactly.

The fast path: the MODULITH Label Studio

Open the MODULITH Label Studio, pick the label type that matches your faceplate series, type your labels or add them from the Part Picker, then download the print file and print. It runs in the browser and gives print-ready files sized for the label window.

MATCH THE SERIESAn EdgeLabel label does not fit a Classic Pro slope, and the other way round - pick the label type that matches the plate you printed. The MODULITH Label Studio makes both.

ICONS, PICKED FOR YOUIt suggests an icon from what you type. Click the icon button at the left of a row to choose your own from 32 built-in icons in six groups (screws and bolts, nuts and washers, tools and 3D printing, electronics, office and sewing, storage and symbols), use a letter, number or short code up to four characters, or upload your own SVG.

WHOLE SETS AT ONCEAdd labels from the Part Picker - screws, nuts and washers, each drawn and sized for you - from a ready-made collection (M2 to M6 socket screws, hex nuts and washers M2 to M8), or from a CSV or TXT file with one label per line. It lays them out on plates that fit your printer and downloads a multi-color 3MF for PrusaSlicer or Bambu Studio / OrcaSlicer, or a single-color STL.

COLOR STRIPESAn EdgeLabel label can carry a colored stripe - blue for metric, red for inch, as the Part Picker marks them. Each stripe color prints from its own filament, and the download says which.

MODULITH Label Studio (EdgeLabel and Classic Pro) · the original Classic Pro generator still works - label blanks also ship inside each faceplate series download.

Make your own: add text in the slicer

Load a label blank, then add a text object on its face. PrusaSlicer: right-click the label in the object list (Advanced mode) and choose Add part, then Text. Bambu Studio: select the label and use the Text tool at the top of the screen.

FONTSSans-serif fonts such as Arial or Poppins print cleanly. Set size and text in the panel that opens.

DIAGRAM

One color or several

Multi-material printer (MMU, AMS): assign the text its own color and print. Single-color printer: slice the label, drag the layer slider down to the first layer where the text begins, and add a color change there - PrusaSlicer with the +, Bambu Studio by right-clicking the + to add a pause. Swap filament when the printer stops.

BATCHGroup your labels on one plate and print them together - one filament swap serves them all.

Keep it readable

Bold beats thin: if strokes print broken or faint, switch to a bolder variant of the font. Turning on Arachne in the slicer helps thin font sections print.

CONTRASTText color against label color is what reads across a room - dark on light or light on dark, not two mid-tones.

SIZEThe window is small; a short word in a big face beats a sentence in a small one.

Fit it, swap it

EdgeLabel: slide the label into its window. Classic Pro: press the accent panel into the face and lay the label onto the grip slope. Both come out again the same way, so a relabel is a minute, not a reprint.

WHICH IS WHICHEdgeLabel wears its label in an angled window at the edge; Classic Pro keeps the classic integrated front with a removable label and a swappable accent.

Attaching the plates themselves is Decor fronts and handles.
