I marked it as "junk" and just when I was about to log out of my email, something told me to check it. It wasn't necessary but thanks!

This part wasn't done on a printer using an extruded filament. I have to wonder if it would have come out better if it had been.
Oh well, it is what it is. It's my first experience with 3D printed parts so I didn't know what to expect anyway.
Quote:Printed with PETG, 0,2 layer height, 25% infill
The attached 3mf files is sliced with Prusaslicer for Prusament PETG, Prusa I3Mk3S+
Color change at 4,2mm height
One have “Height Range Modifiers” to tune the final result.
Have no idea how other slicers handle PS's “Height Range Modifiers”
And one without height modifiers

If it's in the stl file then I can print it. I just don't know how to create the lettering in the 3D model yet.
Alas, that part is too big for my printer to print.

It is now.

What I was referring to was when I loaded the stl file into PrucaSlicer it did not place it diagonally so it wouldn't fit the printer bed. I never even thought of trying to rotate it to see if it would fit diagonally. But when I loaded the 3mf file into PrusaSlicer it put it diagonally on the printer bed so it fit. Not sure why it placed it differently between the two file types.
