Printing a Dual-Colored Die with Prusa's Multi-Material Upgrade. First, update your die model to include rounded dots for an authentic look and feel. Next, prepare your Prusa i3 by calibrating the Multi-Material Upgrade (MMU) according to the manufacturer's guidelines. This involves setting up the MMU's dual extrusion system, which will allow you to print two colors at once. Once calibrated, open your slicer software and configure it for multi-material printing. You'll need to set the material switch interval, which determines how often the MMU switches between colors during the printing process. A higher interval means fewer color changes, but may compromise on detail and texture. Now, slice your die model into two separate parts, one for each color. Prusa's MMU can handle multiple materials simultaneously, so you can print both colors in a single pass. Load the filament into the extruders according to the manufacturer's instructions, making sure not to cross-load or tangle the filaments. With everything set up and configured, it's time to start printing your dual-colored die. Begin by running a test print to ensure that the MMU is functioning correctly and that both colors are being deposited evenly. Make any necessary adjustments before proceeding with the final print. The Prusa MMU's dual extrusion system allows for incredibly detailed prints with smooth transitions between colors. The rounded dots on your die model will give it an attractive, tactile finish that's perfect for gaming or decorative purposes. With this setup, you can create truly unique and eye-catching designs that showcase the capabilities of 3D printing.
