Infinity War Hero Logos (Dual or Single Material)

thingiverse

I am competing in an Infinity War-themed competition, and for aesthetic purposes I wanted to print a large number of superhero logos to use on the machine. I prioritized covering all the heroes first, so I only have the Avengers and Guardians logos available instead of individual hero logos due to time constraints. If there is a desire for more heroes (Captain America, Iron Man, Star-Lord), I can focus on adding them online, otherwise I will add them as I have time and desire. I will also try publishing all the files combined so people with single extruders can print them and make filament changes to achieve color variation. Let me know if you guys have any specific requests and I will get to them as I can. Each model is approximately 65 mm in its largest dimension. I haven't had a chance to check tolerances, so I would recommend checking the GCode before printing and making sure your printer can handle small parts. As I print them, I will try updating everyone on the scales each needs to be printed at for good feature recognition. If you print any and can comment advice for any part, I will put it in the main section to help others. SINGLE EXTRUDER If you only have a single extruder, use the files labeled combined. The background (or what I consider the background) is half as tall as the rest of the logo, so if you stop printing halfway through and change the filament to the logo color from the background color, you can achieve a similar effect to a multimaterial printer. To see what layer you need to change on, take the total height (4 mm in the original), and divide by your layer height (0.1, 0.2...). That will give you your total number of layers. Divide this by two and you know what layer to change after. DUAL EXTRUDER Use the files that start with a similar name (SHIELD Hawk and SHIELD Back for example). Every multimaterial printer is different, so you will need to check out how your printer handles nested STL slicing jobs. UPDATES While it should be possible with a well-calibrated printer, I ended up printing my Guardians of the Galaxy at 175% to help the words show up. It still didn't turn out great on mine for reasons I have yet to figure out, but there is nothing about it that should prove a challenge if you are using decent filament. If you flip over the logo and print on glass, you can get a really nice finish on it, but at the same time, the first layer tends to be where (at least my) dual extrusion tends to mix up some colors.
