Summary

Print your own letter magnets for the kiddos to spell with.

Instructions

There are 4 plates to cover A-Z (and a few extra letters to fill in space), plus 3 extra plates to give duplicates of the more commonly used letters. In total, the 7 plates should give the ability to build practically every word.

Notes:

The font used here is "Anton", from the Google Web Font directory.
Letter frequency built from Wikipedia's "Letter frequency" page.
Letters are ~40mm tall.
Each letter fits 2x BuckyCubes (RIP) which are are ~4mm cubes.

If you want to modify the OpenSCAD script to suit your needs:

Download "More Fontz!" (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:13677)
Customize the magnet locations to fit via trial and error.
You'll probably have to make your own plate configurations.
