Enchanted Fairy Door & Window

cults3d

Enchanted Fairy Door and Window. Can be scaled to suit. Door height is approximately 115mm. Change filament during print for door handle and hinges, then for bricks frame colours. The model was significantly thicker when I printed this example. To save on time and filament, I reduced the thickness. Testing has been scheduled and a version with small holes has also been included to aid in permanently fixing to a wall or any other surface. This version has not yet been tested. 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 colours. Brown can be used as the first colour, then pause at layer 9 to change filament to Silver. Finally, pause at layer 29 and change filament to another colour of choice for the bricks and entrance. For the Window object, pause at layer 5 and insert window frame filament colour. I use Cura from Ultimaker. In Cura, you can add these layer pauses by going to Menu/Extensions/Post Processing/Modify G-Code, adding a script, and then clicking Pause at Height. Drop down the first option -Pause at height, change to layer, then key in the next option the layer height. MOST important tip if you do this: turn these off after you save your g-code 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! Changing filament then switching OFF the printer worked. Switching back on and going into Resume print and selecting the print I was doing 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 its printing... Definitely interested in what your print turned out like?
