Description
This is a really simple model. I'd printed out the 3D domes (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6779839) and Evergreen Farms domes (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6825228) from others and wanted to make some nice solar panels.
The model is pretty simple, but is designed to be functional in game as well. I originally printed it out in matte blue and then tried using an ink pad and acrylic paint to add white, but it wasn't very even and I kept getting paint into the little recesses accidentally.
Then I remembered that you can insert a pause and do a filament change.
I sliced this at 0.08mm (Extra Fine in Bambu Labs) and inserted a pause in layer 7 (after slicing, scroll the right-hand scroll bar until you get to the first solid layer, right click, pick Add Pause, and then slice again).
