Akro bin labels for reloading

thingiverse

I needed some nicer labels for my Akro bins that hold brass for reloading, so I made my own on Tinkercad. After not finding any existing ones, I decided to create a custom design. Once I had finished designing them in Tinkercad, I sent the files to Cura for slicing. Before printing began, I reviewed the layers and added a post-processing g-code script that would change filament when the base layers were done and the numbers started to print. Since I'm using a .2mm layer height, this would occur around layer 11. When prompted during the print process, I switched to the new filament color. Although it's slower than having a multi-color extruder, the end results are well worth the effort. You can easily modify this design on Tinkercad to suit your needs.
