Found this while browsing #3Dprinting on Mastodon. This person used Hue Forge to slice up some floor tiles and add some color. Amazing print and good use of the app.
(hue forge is an app that helps you plan filament swaps to progressively add color, kinda like screen printing but for filament printing)
You don’t need a “multicolor” 3D printer for this. You just do manual filament swaps at specific layers. As many as you have filament colors - unlike a multi color machine that might have to swap hundreds or thousands of times, hueforge works on entire layers at once, so generally you’re only going to be swapping colors 3, 4, maybe 5x…
You might as well tell me to whittle this out of birch and paint it.
I didn’t get into this hobby to do things like “swapping filaments”. 🤮 (kidding)
