Super Mario Power Star (remeshed & dual + single extrusion)

thingiverse

I sought out a Super Mario Power Star to pair perfectly with my Dual Extrusion 1UP Mushroom and Mystery Box. The existing design featured some extremely stretched polygons, which led me to remesh the entire body. Next, I designed both a single extrusion and dual extrusion version of the power-up. As a test print, I utilized the dual extrusion variant for my Big Builder Dual Review on http://nicklievendag.com. For proper printing instructions, I printed the Super Mario Power Star on the Big Builder Dual feed at 100 micron layer height to achieve a clean and even surface. It's essential to purge the second color by using a disc before printing with dual extrusion. Although I used Cura's Wipe & Prime Tower for this process, I still encountered black spots in unwanted areas because it fails to retract when transitioning between the purging area and normal print material. Therefore, I decided against printing supports.
