This guide provides instructions for creating a two-color 3D print, focusing on filament usage adn layer-specific color changes. Teh model in this example is 150x150mm.
Filament and Printing Specifications
To achieve the desired two-color effect, specific filaments and printing parameters are recommended.
Start with Black
The following filaments are used:
- PLA Kingroon Black Transmission Distance: 0.4
- PLA Kingroon white Transmission Distance: 5.8
Printing Instructions
Follow these steps to successfully print the two-color model:
- print at 100% infill.
- Use a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.16mm.
- Ensure your layer height remains below the Min Depth of 0.48mm.
- Note that the Max Depth is 2.2mm, and the Actual Depth is 1.6mm.
Color Swap Instructions
The color swap is crucial for achieving the desired aesthetic.
- start with the Black filament.
- At layer #8 (0.72mm), swap to the White filament for the remainder of the print.
