WARNING!
- remove purge line at the beginning of the print, it may interfere, specially with bigger prints!
Materials and tools:
- glue gun
- aluminum tape
- led strip: simple 1m or 2m white or rgb led USB (recommended 60 LED per meter)
- soldering iron (optional)
RECOMMENDATIONS
-
use a textured PEI sheet
-
remove purge line at the beginning of the print!
-
use the print profile, it has quite a few setting changes that help achieve the best results
-
make a hole for the USB strip wherever you like it best with a soldering iron, drill or in the slicer
-
use the aluminum tape on the inside of the backplate to help with light diffusion
-
glue the LED's the further away from the colored design possible; placing them too close ruins the diffusion and the individual LED's become visible
Bambu Studio Settings: I always recommend using the print profile I provided since it has settings with which I've been able to get the best results. If you choose not to here are the main slicer settings I recommend:
- preferences (ctrl + P) → activate developer settings → Quality →Advanced → First Layer Flow Ratio: 1.04 to 1.08
- Quality → Wall generator → Arachne
- Quality → Wall transitioning threshold angle → 30º to 50º
- Strength → Advanced → Infill/wall overlap → 20% to 25%
- Increasing retraction / reducing temperature can help reducing wisps
- Order color printing from lightest to darkest color
