<p>This is the next in my sequence of printing in colour. It leads on from three earlier Xmas prints.</p> <p>Progress has been achieved in getting a correct colour balance -the palette is limited to 220. Prints size is to a resolution of 0.35mm.</p> <p>I now use my Gimp script-fu to go directly from the original image to a raw data file which is the input for my program written in Scheme, This now produces sets of .obj and .gcode files. That is it converts a image into a 3d model and slices it. For this particular print I have published the .obj files but didn't use them, instead I just printed the gcodes. Please message me if your interest is piqued.</p> <p>Below you can see the data file image produced in Gimp.</p> <p>Copyright -- the original image was downloaded Wikimedia</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>You will need PLA in cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Print in order of file size - smallest first, except of course the backing file (b at the end if its name).</p> <p>The gcodes do not carry print times - they will vary between 6 hours and a day.</p> <p>You will see your nozzle repeatedly traversing the x-axis as it travels along the y axis.</p> <p>Don't forget to remove the initial wipe before changing colours.</p> <p>The backing file is set to a z-lift of 0.2mm and will print quickly.</p> <p>Figures given for the gcodes below are estimates.</p>
