I used Oblenim's .dwg file to create more sizes, remaking this remix* from him. Devon's technique for creating first-layer multicolour prints with a single extruder 3D Printer caught my eye, so I decided to give it a try. I followed the videos by Devin, [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV2AjyowXX4) and [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7FiT5VqLSg), to get started. If you don't want a multicolour print, make sure to flip the STL so that the text faces up. I printed the discs at .2mm height. To fill in the text, follow Devin's videos on merging prints in the slicer and print the text first (if you can achieve good bed adhesion). I printed the text slowly in two layers of .1 mm (I need to adjust the 'initial layer' height), and all the other parts in .2mm (normal settings). With 'z-hop' turned on, they shouldn't bump into each other. The print came out nicely overall. Unfortunately, I only had black and white filament at my disposal at the time, so a bright colour would have suited it better. *Note: Oblenim's license doesn't allow remixes - but his description and added source file suggest we do, so here it is. I experimented with slicing the object in 3, printing the base layer first, then filling in the text, and finally printing the rest of the disc. As Devin suggested, I tried printing smaller bits in the first layers later, but this smudged the text a bit - you can see it on the left '6mm' discs. On the other hand, I found that I could print the black colour all at once perfectly fine with the settings above.
