Some form of internet to access Tinkercad.com. Access to the application "Inkscape," which you can download at Inkscape.org. Access to "Prusa Slicer," which can be downloaded at prusa3d.com. And a 3D printer to fabricate the pass.

Starting Design

Go to Tinkercad.com and create a new 3D design.

Shape

Choose your desired shape of the pass and drag and drop the shape on to your work plane. For this bathroom pass, you are going to want to use the square, and we are going to adjust the size later.

Find the desired size of your pass, and change the size of your shape. Keep in mind that the measurements on Tinkercad are in millimeters. For this project, we are going to be making the rectangle 124 mm length by 76.20 mm in width. You are also going to want to adjust the height to 5 millimeters, and the radius to 1.

Now that you have the desired shape and size, we can begin to add the words and letters. You are going to want to drag out 2 text boxes from the same space where you got your original shape. You can then change the 2 text boxes to say "Bathroom Pass," and "B218." Once you have those, you are going to want to adjust the sizes to 56.50 x 15 for "Bathroom Pass," and 63.68 x 15 for "B218." You are also going to want to adjust both of the heights to 5. And now you can set those on top of the rectangle you have.

Now we are going to add our hole for the string. You are going to want to drag out one of the transparent looking cylinders from the shape gallery. Once you have that out, you are going to adjust the radius to 8.85 and the size to 8 x 8. Lastly, adjust the height to 20.

Lastly, we have to add the miner logo. First things first, go to google and search "Manogue miner logo," and find the logo above. Then you are going to head over to Inkscape and import that logo onto the worksheet. Once you have it there, you are going to select it, right click, and select the "trace bitmap" button and then hit apply in the bottom right. Once you do that, you can go ahead and drag away the colored logo, and delete it. You should be left with a black and white logo. You are going to select that logo again, right click, and select "fill and stroke." Then on the right side of your screen, you are going to select "fill," and hit the x. This should remove the logo. Then select "Stroke paint," and hit the full blue box. You should be left with the logo above. You are then going to save this file, and import it into tinkercad. Then adjust the logo to a height of 10, and a length and width of 36.

Now that you have all the pieces, you are going to want to place them all on the rectangular shape you have. Then you are going to want to highlight/select all the pieces together and hit "L," to align the pieces. Then align the, horizontally, and it should look something like this. Then select them all again, and use the keys "control + g" to group the shapes together leaving you with something like this.

Now we are ready to take it to Prusa Slicer for it to be printed. First, export your file as a .stl. Then launch Prusa Slicer and import the file. Then, go ahead and select "slice now" at the bottom right hand side of your screen. Now it should look like the photo above. Now you are all set to print it. Make sure your computer is all linked to your 3d printer and print it out with the desired colors of filament, and you are all set!
