Hi everyone,
I finally got my own 3D printer, and the first thing I did was start experimenting with how I can get writing onto my 2mm bases. After a bit of experimentation and some failures I was able to get a really nice final product. These bases are 12mm square and contain the OOB information for the corps, division, and brigade of each unit.

The idea here is that you can use these models as either brigade pieces, or as battalions by printing off multiple copies (the battalions will all belong to the same brigade, so the identifying marks for each battalion would be the same). You could also use these as the center game piece of a multi-base battalion, which lets you do formations.
In the rules I'm working on for use with these they'd look like this on the table top:
