3D Print Custom Luggage Tags

Create custom luggage tags from family, friends, and colleagues on a 3D printer.  Makes for a very thoughtful and personal gift.  Name and phone number 3D extrude from base with easy loop to connect to luggage handle.  Flexible TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) filament makes travel more convenient as it bends as needed.  With MatterControl software, just change the name, phone number, reslice and print.

[Note: Instructable will not allow upload of *.mcx MatterControl editable file, so after downloading *.stl, rename to *.mcx for MatterControl to open and thus just change the Name and Number. Otherwise, create from scratch with measurements in Notes]
