How can I print this properly..?

I have a 1" tall tube (3/4" inner DIA) that I print standing up. I wanted to add text cutout, but didnt get the desired outcome. So my next thought would be to still have my desired text, but since I have a FFP...use the other extruder with different color to take care of it. Not sure how to do this. Much thanks for the assistance!

^^ Which would be good for a flat surface, but I want my text to wrap.

you could duplicate the model so you have 2. set them horizontally. drop them half way down so you print 2 halves with support.
then glue them together.

Problem with doing that would be that its a tube that slides over another item which has a tight tolerance and would not be 100% perfect. Thanks for the reply though :)

Are you doing this to a model you've CAD'd? If so you should be able to extrude text in your CAD software.
