Star Trek bookmark

Here's the updated bookmark design that incorporates your requested features. This version of the bookmark is optimized for use with multi-color, multi-material printers and takes advantage of the Prusa i3 Mk3's capabilities. To create this bookmark, you'll need a 2D printer capable of printing in multiple colors or materials. I recommend using a multi-extruder setup to achieve the desired effects. If you don't have access to such a printer, there are workarounds available, like using a single extruder with a modified print head. First, let's talk about the color scheme. Since this is a bookmark for Star Trek fans, I've chosen colors that pay homage to the iconic franchise. The base color will be a deep blue, reminiscent of space itself. To add some visual interest, we'll use a contrasting white or light gray for the text and accents. Now, let's move on to the design. The upper edge of this bookmark is designed to be a full 2 perimeters wide when using a .4mm nozzle. This will give it a sturdy feel and prevent it from bending under normal usage. To achieve this, you'll need to adjust your print settings accordingly. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to modify your printer's settings: 1. Open the slicer software (e.g., Cura or Simplify3D) and load the bookmark design. 2. In the print settings, increase the number of perimeters for the upper edge to 2. 3. Set the layer height to .4mm to ensure a smooth finish. With these adjustments, your printer will produce a sturdy bookmark with a visually appealing design that showcases your love for Star Trek. For those interested in exploring multi-material prints without MMU (Multi Material Upgrade), there's an alternative method using a single extruder. You can find more information on this technique by visiting the Schlosshan website and searching for "Prusa i3 Mk3 real multicolour prints without MMU." This bookmark design is perfect for fans of the Star Trek franchise who want to showcase their love for the show in a unique and functional way. With its multi-color, multi-material capabilities, it's sure to turn heads at any gathering of Trekkies.
