Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
gd32f103rct6.step 847 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
gd32f103rct6-etched.step 5.6 MB You want the part with GD32F103RCT6 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 1378 faces against 995 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
