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:

  1. print at 100% infill.
  2. Use a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.16mm.
  3. Ensure your layer height remains below the Min Depth of 0.48mm.
  4. 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.

  1. start with the Black filament.
  2. At layer #8 (0.72mm), swap to the White filament for the remainder of the print.
