Description
The Grinch seems to be super popular this Christmas, with this print you can feature The Grinch with a custom name to be used as either a gift tag, or tree decoration which will make your recipients heart grow (maybe not 3 times the size though!).
The tags are very similar, however they all capture different “styles” of Grinch, (classic, movie and animated movie). So with 4 print profiles, you can pick your favourite one.
They’re fast and easy to print, and you can personalise the name directly in Bambu Studio. Link to the Grinch like font is also included.
No AMS needed, details in the Printing section below.
Boost Me🎅🏻 If you like this festive print, please consider a boost as a way of supporting me on here 🎅🏻For anyone new to changing settings within Bambu Studio, don't panic! - I've walked through each step with screenshots - If at any point you've made changes that you aren't happy with, just hit undo (Ctrl-Z/Command-Z) and start those changes again.
----------
First off, if you want to match the style I've used here, you'll need to install the “Grinched” font, that's free to download from Da Font here: https://www.dafont.com/grinched.font
After installing, restart Bambu Studio so the font becomes available to use.
For three of the four designs, there are two plates. Plate 1 is when you just have a first name to edit. Plate 2 is for when you want to add a custom two line message, such as Merry Grinchmas (which is there by default). You do NOT need to print both plates, this is just to give you options.
1. Open your chosen tag file (print profile) in Bambu Studio.
2. In the Process panel, click Objects.
3. Expand the plate and object list until you find “To Name”.
4. Left-click to highlight it.
5. Right-click → Edit Text.
6. Enter your custom name in the Input Text box.
7. Choose the Grinched font (or search for it).
💡 You can use another font if you like, but note that this print profile was designed around “Grinched” Thin or intricate fonts may need line-width adjustments. Always check the preview before printing.
If you need to reposition it:
Once you are happy, save your project before slicing, this allows you to easily re-print the tag without having to make the changes again.
If you want to add a custom two line message, follow the above, but on Plate 2, replacing “To Name” with ‘First word’ and ‘Second word'.
----------
Each tag has its own print profile, so just download the ones you want. Some designs have more name space than others.
Three of the four designs have two plates, one for just names, the other to allow a two word message, you do not need to print both, this is just to give you options.
Build plate: Your choice
Filament examples:
Links for both can be found within the BOM (Bill of Materials) on this page.
Load both filaments into the AMS, you’re ready to print!
1. Slice plate or click Preview, scroll to Layer 8* on the right handside scroll bar.
2. Right-click → Add Pause.
3. Start printing with your gingerbread colour.
4. When the printer pauses, swap to the white filament and continue.
* If in the preview on layer 8 you don't just see the gingerbread part, please check the Z height of the name (under move) to ensure it is at 0.75. If you have resized (under Further Personalisation below), please check the Z height under Scale is 2.20mm
----------
For longer names, consider resizing the tag to keep lines from becoming too thin.
1. Select the whole tag (not individual parts).
2. Click Scale from the top toolbar.
3. Adjust the largest dimension first.
4. Once happy with the size, untick Uniform Scale.
5. Set the Z height back to 2.20mm.
This keeps the gingerbread layer at 1.5mm, icing at 0.7mm, and the name at 0.75mm. Double-check the Z height of “To Name” (Move → verify it’s 0.75mm).
Finally, slice and preview your model. If the fill looks odd or too thin in the name, tweak the inner and outer wall line widths of To Name (the ones with padlock icons) until it looks solid. I'd recommend following the same process if changing fonts too.
----------
If your tag slices or prints with the name appearing too early (before the icing layer), or you see white “icing” artefacts appearing on the gingerbread section, don’t worry!
This usually happens because Bambu Studio has automatically changed the Z height of the name object.
Here’s how to fix it:
1. In Bambu Studio, click on the To Name object in the Objects panel.
2. Click the Move icon in the top toolbar.
3. Check the Z height value, it should be 0.75mm.
4. If it’s not, simply change it back to 0.75 and hit Enter.
💡 Once corrected, re-slice your model. You should now see the name start at layer 9 or later, with no premature printing on the gingerbread layer.
If your model looks misaligned, missing colours, or prints incorrectly, please make sure you are using the supplied 3MF print profiles, not the raw STL or STEP files.
The 3MF files contain all the model specific tuning, including:
To use them properly:
❌ Avoid using the raw STL or STEP files unless you specifically want to rebuild your own profiles, they do not include the tuned print settings.

I've gone all out on the gingerbread theme this year, here are some of my other designs for Christmas 2025
Please remember, however delicious these may come out looking, they are not edible - Please supervise any young children you are giving these to! 😊
