The goal of this project was to create a really complex color blending Boo-forge model with extra depth using 8 colors or less. As a result I ended up with 7 colors and 27 swaps and probably my favorite model to date. This model is really meant to be printed with 2 AMS units, but if you are a spool swapping super soldier you could definitely do it with no AMS. If you go this route it might be worth printing the swapping instructions below and crossing off each spool as you swap to the next to keep track of my madness. Manual filament swaps can easily be done with pauses. This model will only be available to club members.
I have included one 3MF print profile for a 2 AMS setup. If someone wants to print the NO AMS route and swap till they drop you can just delete a color change in the slicer preview and right click and change it to a pause, repeat for each color change. If someone is having problems with doing that let me know and I can make a NO AMS profile.
If you have any questions about printing this hit me up.
AMS SLOT GUIDE: The model colors will go in and be assigned to the following slots depending how many AMS units you have.
MODEL COLOR - [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
2 AMS - SLOT ---- [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.16mm. The profile has a height modifier to print the first 0.64mm @ 0.16 layer height as that is the min depth/non blended portion of the base color. If you use a different slicer set all your color changes before doing the modifier as it changes the amount of layers, or use the #mm value instead. This shaves off approximately half an hour of print time.
DO NOT change the Z dimension. If you substitute filaments results will vary. If you have Hueforge you can import the STL and see how substituted filaments will change the outcome before printing. If you have questions hit me up.
I use the TD-1 to measure my filament opacity which is why you see the names I have assigned to them in Hueforge. This gives me an accurate prediction. Filament TD can vary from brand to brand and even from spool to spool. If you want to measure your own for accurate predictions in Hueforge check out MY WEBSITE where I have official TD-1 units for sale.
The Model is 208x208mm in size You may print at higher layer heights below the Min Depth of 0.64mm The Max Depth is 6mm and the Actual Depth is 5.8mm
