The hilarious LEMONS sign from Valve's masterpiece Portal 2!
This is a complete ground-up rework of the original remix that used to be here. I started with new vector art, then rebuilt the sign in Fusion. The new sign is printed face-down on the plate for better quality, and I've included better print settings in the profile to ensure small details like the Aperture logo print well even with a 0.4mm nozzle. It's also been scaled up to pretty much fill the X1C's print bed. I suggest leaving the prime tower enabled to get the colors to print as cleanly as possible. Feel free to rescale the image, but if you do, only scale the X and Y axes - leave the Z height to 2mm (the colors are embedded 1mm deep in the 2mm sign).
This print requires 2 AMS units, since you need to load 7 colors. I've added the suggested colors to the BOM below. If you don't have the exact colors, don't worry - there are plenty of other colors what work great too! For example, the Bambu Dark Gray also looks gray in Bambu Metal Iron Gray Metallic PLA or Polymaker PolyLite Dark Gray PLA. If you don't have the Matte Ice Blue, any Arctic Teal or Sky Blue should also still look great.
If you'd like to save time and filament, you can now order the updated sign pre-printed right from our Etsy store! We include a printed stand to display the sign, along with another little Portal-related surprise item:

Note: The original embossed print profiles have been removed, since this is now a new model and not remixed from Megacap's original STL. If you still want to print the original embossed version, you can jump on over to their original version on Printables:
