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?
