Darth Vader - Hueforge - Filament Painting

prusaprinters

This is a Hueforge filament painting of one of the most iconic characters in movie history, Darth Vader. The frame for all of my, and probably the vast majority of 200x200 prints is HERE.This is a simple 5 color print that can easily be done by people with or without AMS units. If you have a printer with a bed smaller than the capacity to print 200x200 you can use the slicer to scale the model in the correct profile for your multi color setup just make sure NOT TO SCALE THE Z dimension. IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE PRINTING I have uploaded three Bambu 3MF profiles. One for people with a single AMS, one for people with two AMS units, and one for people with NO AMS. To print with 1 AMS you need to swap out AMS slot [1] (Color [1]) with Color [5] when the black [Color 1] has completed and fully retracted. Once the second color starts printing just load the new spool. Note the AMS will not feed the spool like it does pre print but as long as you have fed 3-4 inches in there and the light goes on it will feed as normal when it swaps back to the last color in AMS [1] To print with 2 AMS units all you need to do is load the colors in order and print. To print with NO AMS unit you just need to do manual filaments swaps every color. The 3MF is set to pause at the correct layer heights. At each pause load the next filament color in order by following your unload/load procedure for your particular printer, then hit resume. Repeat until complete. This will be once per color over the entire painting. You have a decent amount of time between swaps, and is actually harder to mess up because it pauses unlike when using the AMS. Print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.16mm. There are some recommended speed changes in my 3MF files and a layer height modifier to print the first 0.64 mm @ 0.16 mm layer height to speed up the print as there is no blending on those layers. Like all of my models this is strictly for personal use.
