Description

Inspired by Turbo_SunShine's design, I wanted to go further. I've marked this as a "remix", but the openscad and stl files are original -- just the idea is inspired by TSS

This experiment shows that if you have a multi-material printer, you can use TSS's technique to create a gradient filament. Here, I demonstrate a small 2-material filament section created via openscad. It produces only about ~2g of filament, less than 1 meter.

The OpenSCAD program that produces the files is a piece of junk and takes quite a bit of time to run. As such, it is not feasible to make it into a customizer at this time. (also, I think the scad file doesn't match the stl files provided, oops!)

The frog model is here and the vase model is here

Print instructions

Resolution: 0.2mm

Infill: 100%

My sample is made of some "bronze filament" and some glow in the dark PLA. However, you should be creative and try whatever sounds fun.
