lol thank you

I wanted to play around with Bambu Studio color painting tool on a small scale before I take on a bigger project. The fill tool did a great job filling in the logo and text and I think it really pops compared to a single-color print. Other than that, I used the recommended settings for the X1C.

@needitmakeit

Cool, I think you're only 1 of 2 people who have made it in color, very nice POP to it!

Great tool - literally was waiting for it. Print profile worked also great.

@needitmakeit

Beauty, you've god the newer mag version as well, which is pretty handy I find as long as you have something steel nearby to stick it to.

Print worked out great.

Looking good, nice and crisp!

@SBsafe

Black ABS. Fits the threads - plan to do a cleaning soon.

The designer has replied

@needitmakeit

ABS is a good choice it's a bit more rigid then PETG. I'd made one from PETG-CF that works well also. Looks good!

second time printing this model, for me a brim is needed as the first print came off the bed. there’s a slight benchy hull line in the bottom due to no fan solid infill layers but I assume that’s best for bed adhesion. tool is a real smart idea that works perfectly for lead screw cleaning. thanks!
