<h2>Magic Minecraft Creeper: Filament Blending in 3 Dimensions</h2>The only 3D Creeper that gets it's variations in color through filament blending!&nbsp;While it looks like a green cube in the slicer, during printing, layers of black and white filament are applied at varying depths in the walls, resulting in various shades of greens and grays.&nbsp;<h3>PROOF OF CONCEPT</h3>I recently released a <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/67884#profileId-72044" rel="nofollow noopener">filament blending swatch</a> on MakerWorld which uses varying heights of white an black filament behind a color to create different tints and shades. These swatches served as the basis for a few of my other models on MakerWorld. But those are 'flat' models, and since we all bought 3D printers to print in three dimensions, I wanted to explore the potential of filament blending in 3D.&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:41.3%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/190622/2023-11-18_7e1c8df519e45.jpeg"></figure>In this photo you can see two example color swatchesand the various tints/shades achieved by layering different thickness of color behind them.&nbsp; &nbsp;So I decided I should at least try to prove that filament blending in three dimensions is potentially a new (new to me anyway) technique that could be used to change the color of a 3D model without needing to have 10+ colors of filament and multiple AMS units.&nbsp;By creating three different cubes - a green cube, and black and white cubes with all six sides composed of smaller varied-height cubes - I created a model that looks like this.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:36.48%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/190622/2023-11-20_bca94e653d17d8.png"></figure>&nbsp;&nbsp;By setting the slicer in a very specific manner, we can essentially change the exterior color of the cube by making the outer green color appear darker or lighter depending on the color of the filament behind it.&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:35.17%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/190622/2023-11-20_5340d76efb347.png"></figure>The different colors inside the walls of the printare visible here &nbsp;The easiest way to print this file is to print directly from the Bambu Handy app, or choose ‘Open in Bambu Studio’ and print without modification. Many slicer settings were adjusted to get this to print properly. Feel free to change whatever you want, but don't be surprised if you get unexpected results!&nbsp;<h2>FAQ:</h2>Q: Why does this take so long to print?A: It's a FULL COLOR Model. Yes, it uses fewer filament colors than it looks like it should, but there's still a color change on nearly every layer.&nbsp;Q: How did you design this model?A: I used <a target="_blank" href="https://openscad.org/" rel="nofollow noopener">OpenSCAD</a>&nbsp;Q: Why aren't the colors exactly correct for a Minecraft Creeper?A: The white and black cubes that control the color variations were created programmatically using a random number generator to adjust the height/depth of the color variation.&nbsp;Q: Will you release the .scad file for this model?A: Eventually&nbsp;Q: This print isn't PERFECT!A: That's not a question. This is a PROOF OF CONCEPT model. The idea is to demonstrate the possibility of color blending in a three-dimensional model versus just a flat print.&nbsp;Q: Can this technique be used in other models?A: I certainly hope so; it definitely seems promising.&nbsp;Happy printing, and please post your makes in the comments!

<h3>Pixel Art Santa Mickey Christmas Ornament</h3>The perfect 8-bit addition to your Christmas Tree!&nbsp;----------------If you like my stuff, check out my patreon<a target="_blank" href="https://www.patreon.com/LilacRage" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.patreon.com/LilacRage</a>-------&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>Instructions:</h3>Print face down on the build plate.Colors used in the print:&nbsp;Mario:<ul><li>IIIDMax Red</li><li>Bambu Basic White</li><li>Bambu Basic Yellow</li><li>Generic PLA Black (Random Amazon Brand)</li></ul>&nbsp;----- Be careful using other print profiles than the one provided. I had to slow down the first layer and tweak a few things in order to get the first layer to adhere well. The individual ‘pixels’ are quite small and unless your filament is dry and well tuned, you may have issues with the first layer. I also HIGHLY recommend using a textured PEI plate for the best surface finish and better adhesion.&nbsp;___________ <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/u/2064416831/collections" rel="nofollow noopener">Check Out The Rest of my Ornaments Here</a> ___________ Post Your Makes in the Comments!&nbsp;

This swaps from black to white for all versions, so you will need to purge a decent amount to get clean white colors.&nbsp;Painted Version - Requires AMS unit. <ul><li>STLs are separated by color for ease of painting if you want to do alt colors</li></ul>Flat Version - Requres AMS unit. <ul><li>Print face down on the build plate.</li></ul>Color Swap Version - Does NOT Require AMS unit.<ol><li>Start with BLACK Filament</li><li>Swap to WHITE at 2.2mm (Layer 11)</li><li>Swap to at GREEN at 2.8mm (Layer 14)</li><li>Swap to RED at 3.2mm (Layer 16)</li></ol>IF you are using the RAW .stl files, drag all 4 related stls into your slicer at the same time and the slicer will ask if you wish to load the files as a single object with multiple parts.
