Butterfly 2, One-piece Color Dropped

This is a HueForge Color Drop remix of my Butterfly #2, https://makerworld.com/en/models/546789, published almost two years ago.  That model is printed in two pars and can be done without an AMS or other automatic filament changer with a few simple filament swaps.  This remixed version is designed to print as a single model, making use of an AMS.  In fact, it requires two to support the six colors.  Unlike many HueForge models, it is not possible to rely on swapping filaments after their use (except for maybe the transparent base), because this model uses more than one color per layer, therefore requiring two AMS units.

In spite of this drawback, its advantage is that it does not require multiple prints or post print assembly.

As with all such models substitution of filaments can be made with similar colors and TD values.  The model assumes PETG filaments, but PLA filaments can be used, if it is assured that the model will not be subjected to direct sunlight.  PLA models have been known to warp in direct sun.

If not using the BambuStudio 3mf file provided, the stl files with the instructions below can be used to prepare the model for printing in another slicer.

Project: Butterfly2_CD.hfp

Print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.16mm

The Model is 155x160.14mm in size

You may print at higher layer heights below the Base Thickness of 0.64mm
The Max allowed Thickness is 3.68mm and the Actual Thickness is 3.52mm

    PETG GeeeTech Transparent  Transmission Distance: 100
    PETG Bambu HF Yellow  Transmission Distance: 5.8
    PETG Kaaber Red  Transmission Distance: 6.5
    PETG Kaaber Blue  Transmission Distance: 3.3
    PETG BambuLab Basic Green  Transmission Distance: 1.7
    PETG Polylite Teal  Transmission Distance: 0.9
This print uses 6 unique filaments

Swap Instructions:
    You do not set Layer Swaps in the slicer. Instead, each color is a separate STL file.
    The file is named with the piece (Base or Nest) and filament color.
    Load all STLs for one piece at once — your slicer will ask if it is a multi-part model. Select yes.
    Assign filaments by color name in the slicer's Object view.
    Print everything together. No assembly required after printing.

Color Drop Printing Instructions:
    This model has been split into 3 nested pieces.
    Each piece is split by color for color-by-object printing.
    Original height: 3.36 mm
    Tallest piece: 1.52 mm
    Height saved: 1.84 mm
    Nest at GeeeTech_Transparent (layer 6 → layer 0)
    Nest at GeeeTech_Transparent (layer 3 → layer 0)
