The Witcher School of the Wolf Plaque

This is my illuminated Witcher plaque design including a modified version of the  Witcher III Wolf School Medallion by Daniel Walsh https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1347129 . 

Printing Advice

This colour print can be done without use of an MMU and can be done manually with a filament change at the appropriate layer when slicing in PrusaSlicer - for more info see https://help.prusa3d.com/article/color-change_1687 

This does fit on a Prusa Mini (just!) but make sure you turn off the brim setting.

Supports will be needed especially for the rune letters as they are quite delicate!

You will need to print 5 of the rune and sign filters for each of the Witcher signs in the colours of your choosing.

Model Notes

Note - I have tried to fix the model files since I printed it a few months ago and have not verified it since these changes:

• Made the cavity for the LED strips larger to help installing this
• Re-worked the Witcher logo so it is embossed on the plaque.  (I printed this on another panel and pushed the letters through which was a bit rubbish!)
• Made the rune filter slightly larger so it should cover the letters better

I did rush this a bit when I designed it so it could be improved further if anyone wishes to do a remix version but hopefully most of the hard work is done! :)

Parts List

For this build, I used the following components in addition to the 3D printed parts:

Programming Help

For help with progamming addressable LED's, I would strongly recommend FastLED series by Scott Marley which helped me (as an absolute novice!):

I have included the code I used if you need help getting started!
