How to set a Text on a GameObject?

Question

Hey guys, I tried to get an answer by using google but couldnt find any successful solution for my problem. I habe a cube in a room and I want to display on this cube the temperature of the room (sth like a head indicator). My problem is ,that I cant set a text to the cube, I tried 1000 ways but yeah.... I even tried to do it with TextMesh and using a "3D Text Shader" but it looks like crap....

Does sb know how to display text on an Cube? I dont want to have the text on the camera/screen.

Create a World space canvas and place it on your cube.

I did this with a 2D sprite I have, added a canvas+Text as a child but whenever I move the sprite around the text stays at the original position. Is it possible to attach it to the sprite without coding the movement?

So it seems that the gameobject.text component does nothing but let you type in text? And I cant even load a pic.png here?
