Description
Little fox obtained combining multiple stl files in a single flat and multicolor print.
In Italian this tecnique is called “stampa inversa”, which can be literally translated in “reverse print” (I don't know if there is some better name).
Basically you need to print multiple model without removing them from the build plate, if it's done well you'll obtain a single flat print with multi-color effect.
My suggested steps to print this little fox are:
1) print 01_fix_white.stl with 0.1 layer height, white color
2) when done, remove skirt, and carefully clean any strings residals
3) print 02_fix_black.stl with 0.1 layer height, plus set z-hop to 0.4mm to avoid collisions, black color
4) when done, remove skirt, and carefully clean any strings residals
5) print 03_fox_orange.stl with 0.2 layer height, z-hop is optional, orange color
Center TIP/TRICK: to help center process with cura3D slicer a thin perimeter (0.1mm) was addes around the main design to have the same area and be able to use “Center Model” function. The perimeter is so thin that the slicer will ignore it.
I added my gcode also for all of you lazy boys
