Home Office Do Not Disturb Sign

thingiverse

Like many people these days, I am working from home five days a week and school's closed, which means my kids burst in when I'm on a teleconference. So, I came up with this sign as a solution. It's easy to print, but the only challenge is that it needs to be made in three colors. You print one side in a friendly color - mine's blue - and the middle should be white or silver or grey so the text stands out. The "Do Not Disturb" side is red on my sign, but you can choose any signal color you like. Each layer in the model is 1.2 mm thick, which works well when printing at a resolution of 0.2 mm or 0.3 mm. When inserting material changes in Slic3r, it's essential to understand that you need to tell Slic3r what layer will be the first layer in the new color. For example, at a 0.2 mm resolution, you would insert one change at 1.4 mm and another at 2.6 mm. This can be confusing at first. The sign should work for any regular European door handle, but it doesn't work for US round turning style knobs. I'm sure you guys can come up with your own solutions.
