π§ Print Tips & Multi-Color Options
For best color clarity, load Sunflower Yellow as the main body, Cocoa Brown for stripes, and Jade White for wings.
If youβre using AMS, preheat secondary filaments to reduce purge waste.
Optional: use ironing only on top surfaces β it makes the wings shine beautifully.
If adhesion is weak, add a small brim (not usually required).
For single-extruder printers, you can manually pause for color swaps at layer transitions.
π Notes from the Maker
