Multimaterial Firetruck

prusaprinters

<p>Facts first: This is a remix of a print-in-place firetruck, which adds separate components for up to five colors/materials. Now for the story...</p><p>My son wanted me to print a fire truck with my new Palette 2, but the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2805965">two-color version I found</a> wasn't printing well (the headlights and bumper weren't inset into the main body, preventing them from attaching well). So, I remixed <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2421018">the original design</a> in Meshmixer to make it easier to print, and while I was at it I split the components out for more materials (so you can go wild with your MMU2).</p><p>The versions in the picture are both only three materials (copying the original). One is at 100% size with .32 layer height and the other is at 40% size with .2 layer height. The larger print had some issues entirely independent of the model. Sorry I didn't opt to reprint in higher print quality, but I was in a hurry.</p><h3>Print instructions</h3><p>The bridges in the model require adequate cooling, but other than that the tolerances can be pretty loose. You may need a brim for the ladders, but everything else sticks quite well without extra bed adhesion (and is a pain to clean up if the brim sticks too well or there's excessive elephant foot).</p>
