Enchanted Fairy Door & Window

thingiverse

Enchanted Fairy Door and Window. Can be scaled to suit, with door height approximately 115mm. Change filament during print for door handle and hinges, then for bricks frame colors. The model was initially printed thicker than intended, but I reduced the thickness to save time and filament. I will test this version and also included a version with small holes to aid in permanently fixing to wall or whatever. I have not yet tested this version. TIPS FOR CHANGING FILAMENT DURING A PRINT Your layers may differ from mine, so check them first. For the Door object, pause at layer 9 and layer 29 if you want three different colors. For example, print brown first, then pause at layer 9 to change filament to silver. Finally, pause at layer 29 to change filament to another color of your choice (the bricks and entrance). For the Window object, pause at layer 5 and insert window frame filament color. I use Cura from Ultimaker. In Cura, you can add these layer pauses. Go to Menu/Extensions/Post Processing/Modify G-Code, then Add a script. Pause at Height, drop down the first Option -Pause at height, change to layer, and key in next option the layer height. Click Close or Add a Script if you need another layer change. MOST important tip if you do this: Turn these off after you save your gcode, or it will go onto all future objects you save to print!! On my Anycubic i3 MEGA, the pause g-code mod works. I just wasn't sure how to resume! I changed filament then switched OFF the printer. Switched back on and went into Resume print and selected the print I was doing; it continued the last print! If using OctoPrint, simply click to resume when you have changed the filament. Other options are to manually pause it from the screen as it's printing... Definitely interested in what your print turned out like?
