Silly Scope - Asiimov Cosmetic Parts Set

WARNING: These parts, like any other multi-material model, will invariably be more expensive, take more time, and generate more waste than solid-color ones. Do not expect this set of files to be cheap or efficient, but instead to be eye-catching and beautiful.

However, this set of parts in particular produces negligible waste, with less than ten filament changes in the whole print.

Printing:

All necessary parts are arranged in specific orientations that I have found to be a good balance between aesthetics and cost efficiency in a single .3mf file and have been pre-painted with their proper colors and prepped with Sillybutts' recommended settings.

All parts will print clearly and cleanly with a 0.4mm nozzle in their default orientations. Some parts use Smooth PEI plates instead of Textured ones - such a plate is required for those parts specifically if a smooth final finish on the blaster is desired. A Textured plate can be substituted, if necessary.

It is worth noting that I have adjusted the support interface top and bottom Z distances and the elephant's foot compensation distance to what personally works well for me. Instead of blindly using mine, I highly recommend you use the value in those settings that has historically worked best for you - every printer is different. 

Assembly/Post-Processing:

Assembly is identical to standard.
