HueForge-style bas-relief inspired by The Great Wave off Kanagawa by the famous Japanese master Hokusai. In the foreground, a monumental wave dominates the scene, captured in the very moment before impact. The flowing lines of the sea naturally guide the eye toward Mount Fuji, a symbol of balance and permanence. Behind it, the red sun creates a strong focal point, while small birds in flight add depth to the stormy atmosphere.
This HueForge-style bas-relief was created using only 4 colors.
🔹 Colors
Red, Dark blue and Beige: No special requirements.
White: 💡 The result shown in the photos was achieved using Sunlu PLA White (standard PLA). Highly opaque or matte white PLAs may produce a bas-relief with too much white and less defined shading. For best results, use a white PLA with slight translucency.
🔹 Model Dimensions
Standard: 180 × 130 mm – approx. 40 g
XL: 220 × 160 mm – approx. 60 g
🔹 Print Profiles (3MF)
(AMS): Automatically handles all color changes. You only need to load the AMS with the 4 filaments (dark blue, beige, white and red).
(NO AMS): Pauses are already included for each required color change. - It starts with Dark blue - Layer 8 (0.76 mm) - Beige - Layer 11 (1.00 mm) - White - Layer 13 (1.16 mm) - Red - Layer 14 (1.24 mm) - Dark blue - Layer 17 (1.48 mm) - Beige - Layer 20 (1.72 mm) - White

🔹 Printing Notes
Printability: the model can be easily printed on any 3D printer with a 0.4 mm nozzle, without supports and without special precautions.
Do not simplify the model: reducing the level of detail may lead to unpredictable results.
Slicer processing time: a few minutes, due to the high level of detail.
The “floating regions” warning can be ignored.
The model can be scaled in X and Y, but not in Z. It can also be split into multiple parts to create a bas-relief larger than the print bed.
