Description
One ornament for each of the "True Love"s gifts in the song. The finished ornaments are 3 inches across. I designed these for printing colors by layer. The filament is swapped between layers as shown below. This can be done manually by inserting pauses in your gcode - no AMS/MMU required.
Printing instructions:
All ornaments use .2 mm layer height. I got the best results with solid infill and Ironing (rectilinear) turned on for all top surfaces.
The backgrounds are all 2 mm (10 layers) thick.
The other colors are mostly .4 mm (2 layers) except, when light colors have to cover dark colors, the light color is .6 mm (3 layers).
Insert pauses for filament changes as below.
