What’s the link for the files.

You could import the stl file into Tinkercad and add the names

I imported the bar and added 1/4 to it

I tried doing that but the model is curved. I even tried putting in as a hole and the area lifted.

I tried a hole. Seemed to work

There is a way you can bend text around and emboss it, which looks more natural.

I think this is the video. Unfortunately it is in German.

But I guess it is helpful, as he usually explains it slow and shows different ways.

I haven’t watched the video, but the most common way I’ve seen over the years for conforming text to a shape is to draw a path for it to follow.

Try TinkerCad: tinkercad TEXT ON CURVED FACE - YouTube

YouTube has a number of videos on manipulating text using TCAD: [U]Putting Curved Text on a Ring in TinkerCAD - YouTube is another 1.
