Syahadah - Islamic Caligraphy

thingiverse

I don't design the main calligraphy, I just converted a vector version that I downloaded from Sketchup files and added a back plate for backlighting purposes. The back plate features two screw holes and an LED drain, making it easy for DIY enthusiasts to add backlighting. To achieve two colors, I paused the printer and switched filaments during the last 10 layers of printing. This design requires too much retraction, so please help your printer by pausing it when you hear the filament grinding and clearing any blockages that may occur. In my case, this happened four times during the entire print job, but the result was well worth it. As a bonus, I've added a new design featuring a star-frame for the calligraphy, but I haven't printed it yet due to waiting for my black and gold filament to arrive. The test slice took only 4 hours and 30 minutes using my slicer. I also uploaded the main calligraphy text in STL format for your reference. The first design, which featured a circular plate, took approximately 9 hours to print with my printer, dX_Xb. Note: I apologize for any language mistakes.
