Half-Life themed Tensegrity Coaster

thingiverse

I saw GnuElms design an image that some people online mentioned looked like lambda symbols. So I remixed it to make a Half-Life themed version. For most printers with Marlin firmware, you can print this by following these steps: To print, first slice the logo without adding a skirt or brim. Then slice the plate with the logo cutout. Open the G-code of the logo in a text editor and comment out the shutdown commands at the end. Add an M600 command, which pauses to help you swap filaments. Next, open the G-code of the plate, comment out all the starting code, select everything, and paste it below the M600 command in the logo's G-code file. Save the changes. Upload this updated G-code to your printer, and it should work fine. The STL files are designed with a layer height of 0.2mm in mind. If you use a different layer height, it may not print correctly. I've included my original G-code for reference. This has only been tested on a Prusa i3MK3S with the latest firmware as of today. I'm providing this in good faith, but I can't be held liable if you use it and something breaks. I recommend generating your own G-code based on these instructions and using mine as a reference. To print this, you'll still need to get the original files from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4325186. I've only included my modified files.
