Description
A multi-color print that creates the Hokie bird (Virginia Tech's Mascot) when 3D printed.
This is a 4-color print, that requires white, red/maroon, black, and orange filament to print.
LAYER HEIGHT AND COLOR:
0 - 2.0 mm: WHITE
2.0 - 2.4 mm: RED/MAROON
2.4 - 2.8 mm: BLACK
2.8 - 3.2 mm: ORANGE
I used the "Variable Settings Wizard" that was added in Simplify3D version 4.0 to split the model at the correct heights (2.0, 2.4, and 2.8). After splitting the model, I adjusted the settings in each process to match what I desired. Next, I printed the model one process at a time, changing the filament color between each process change.
