Description
You print this little flower pot in vase mode and then press fit the inlay into the channels. (They snap in when I print on my Mk4). It allows you to make a dual color design with only a single extruder.
Once I had all the filament press fit in I just trimmed the excess with my side cutters and hit it with a lighter just to polish up the cuts. (careful if you do likewise it is easy to overheat such a thin part.)
If you are interested in the profile that I used I have posted the fusion design file as well. There is some excess geometry in there sorry I hadn't really planned on posting it but then thought someone might find the example useful. The dimensions I used worked well to snap in the filament but if you aren't rpinting vase mode you would probably need to make the groves a little bigger and then feed the filament in.
