These cubes are engraved with "Merry Xmas!" or "HO HO HO" for some festive cheer. Makes a great stocking stuffer! #Coloring Options I've used three different coloring options for these cubes: ##Engraved "sturdy-infinity-cube-hohoho.stl" and "sturdy-infinity-cube-merry-xmas.stl" have the text engraved deep enough to be readable as is. ##Painted Print "sturdy-infinity-cube-hohoho.stl" or"sturdy-infinity-cube-merry-xmas.stl" and use acrylic paint or permanent markers to color the text. See the white "HO HO HO" in the picture. ##Multicolor 3D Print Print the text with a different filament then the rest of the cube. This is a pretty awesome technique that is actually quite easy to do if you are comfortable with changing the filament on your printer. Instructions: * There are two "multicolor-*.stl" files for each cube. Both files contain small squares in each corner to ensure that the slicer positions them in the same spot. Slice each file by itself. * Print "*-01_text.stl" first. This only takes a minute. Make sure to keep the printbed and hotend heated after the print is done (to prevent the print coming off the bed and allow changing the filament). * Remove everything but the text from the printbed: the corners, skirt, etc. * Change the filament. * Print "*-02_cube.stl". This print should overlay the text that was already printed.
