Keychain tool and text (self.3dprinting)

I'm using the image to keychain tool from bambu which is awesome, however I've added some text to the model via Bambu studio but when I slice the model it doesn't show the text at all and won't print it. Do I have to assemble/combine the text with the keychain model?

I'm not sure how bambu studio does it (use prusa/superslicer) but chiming in because I was trying to figure this out last year doing a large ish batch of keychains for a friend and was fighting a bit with it, probably is a way of doing it all in freecad but the image was my biggest issue.

I ended up doing things in blender to subtract the image and the slicer itself, did a text object, positioned it where I wanted, merged the objects and marked the text as a negative volume (think that's the term, might be subtract) so it was subtracted when I sliced it, might help in your case?
