Yin-Yang Cats Coaster

prusaprinters

<p>Original model by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1472192">3dpoplauki</a>.</p><p>I remixed this model to allow for printing with multiple virtual extruders. This way, you can print the coaster design-side down to achieve a flat top surface. Spots for rubber feet are also included on the bottom!</p><p>The project file I've included uses the default 0.4mm printer profile and generic PLA filament profile. If that's what you normally use, the model is already good to go. However, if you would like to use your own custom printer/filament profiles you'll need to perform the following steps:</p><ol><li>Navigate to Printer Settings → General. Change the number of extruders to “2” and select the “Single Extruder Multi Material” option.</li><li>Navigate to Printer Settings → Custom G-code. Under “Tool change G-code," add the line “M600” to initiate a filament change when the printer goes to “change extruders”.</li><li>Navigate to Print Settings → Multiple Extruders. Disable the Wipe Tower. I've personally only run into trouble using a wipe tower with this method.</li><li>Finally, navigate to the Platter window. At the top-right, select the filaments you would like to use as you normally would.&nbsp;</li></ol><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That's it! The sections should already be grouped by extruder, but make sure you don't need to swap the order of your filaments to achieve the color layout you're going for!</p><p>I used a 0.6mm nozzle which contributed to the gaps visible around the more narrow areas of the design. A 0.4mm nozzle would probably be a better fit for this print, but you can still get perfectly acceptable quality with a larger nozzle.</p>
