Catan Wheat Tiles - Single Nozzle, Multi-color Layers

cults3d

Dakanzla is undoubtedly the mastermind behind his revolutionary multicolor printed design (Version 2). Despite being limited to a single nozzle printer and lacking the artistic flair of a skilled painter, I still sought to infuse my set with some artistic oomph. Unfortunately, the monotone sets that abound in the community are far too creative, yet woefully lacking in color palette variety. As a result, I redesigned the tiles to take full advantage of the color swapping technique at multiple levels. Chuck Hellebuyck's insightful tutorial on achieving Multi-Color 3D Print in CURA 3 on the ENDER 3 (which also applies to my PRUSA) is a valuable resource that I highly recommend.

Using standard yellow filament for about 3mm provided a nice base layer, which I then switched to silk gold to evoke the image of golden wheat swaying gently in the summer breeze. I'm also a fan of hedgehogtopus' creative crop circles. The mountains and house elements were cleverly adapted from Dakanzla's original design.
