prusaprinters

<p>This swatch is intended to show the gradient steps for a 0.2 mm layer height when using <a href="https://help.prusa3d.com/article/color-change_1687">manual color changes</a> with translucent materials, as well as the interactions between the different filament colors and other slicing settings, such as infill density.</p><p>I recommend downloading blending_swatch.3mf instead of blending_swatch.stl, and keeping the layer height set at 0.2 mm.</p><p>The filaments used in both swatches in the cover photo for this model are Prusament's PLA “Opal Green” and “Vanilla White” color variants.</p><p>---</p><p>Source code for the model:</p><pre><code class="language-plaintext">-- units are in cm local layer_height = .02 local steps = 8 local depth = layer_height * steps local extent = 1 model = nil for i = 1, steps, 1 do local step = box(extent, extent, depth + (i - 1) * layer_height) :align(-1, -1, -1) if not model then model = step else model = model :move_x(extent - layer_height) :union(step) end end model = model:align(-1, -1, -1)</code></pre>
