3D print room numbers for your airbnb or holiday rental
How to optimize the check in for your guests if you have more than one room to rent?
Since we have 3 separate apartments in our house we rent out to guests we needed to come up with an idea to guide guests safely to their room. Room numbers are the obvious choice here.
Another thought was giving the rooms names. Ideas were sights nearby or suburb names. But we decided not to do that because of potential language barriers.
When your guests arrive they are usually tired from their journey so you don’t want to bother them with unnecessary thinking about places or names they probably never heard or read about because they don’t know the area, don’t speak the language or don’t even use the same alphabet.
So numbers it is.
But how to make something rather boring like numbers interesting?
We came up with the idea of 3d printing the numbers. This way you get a very professional, clean but still interesting look.
A friend of mine has a 3D printer (link). I bought black filament from Amazon (link), which is the plastic that is melted in the printing process and designed the door signs in a very simple and free online tool called thinkercad. You can find my model here (link). You are free to modify that to your own needs.
I glued on the numbers with double sided tape and this is the result:
This way we can let guests know that they are in room H02 instead of “the room on the second floor” which can be ambiguous because some people start counting floors from the ground level up starting with one and some count the ground level as zero. Let alone if you rent out several rooms on the same floor.
Hope that tip helps.
