The Traveling Wilburys, the band that put the “super” in the term supergroup, can now have a prominent place on your walls. This is was without a doubt the complex band logo I have created as a 3D print thanks to the gradients used throughout the logo. Could I have just used solid colors? Sure I could have, but there would have been nothing super about it. So please enjoy what is without a doubt my greatest band logo yet.

This print does require two color changes in your AMS, I have placed a pause in the middle of the first red section for you to do this. You will start off the print with White, Black, Green, and Red. At the pause you will swap out Black and Green for Blue and Yellow. Since you are swapping out two colors, make sure you write down which color goes in each spot as the change occurs 3 hours into the 6 hour print and you don't want to forget!

Creating this was quite the challenge, but was something I had been thinking about ever since creating my first color blending print of the Phish logo. The concept here is similar, but since there are multiple gradients of varying colors and in different directions, I couldn't just tilt the entire model. Instead I broke the model into 6 separate stl files and lined them up. The first stl is the white section at the bottom of the print and is 1mm thick. The second stl is black which is 2mm thick. Third comes green which is 3mm thick. These first 3 stls have no gradients so I made them thin with each one elevating 1mm over the previous layer. To start off the gradients the fourth stl is red to white and is 5mm thick taking you 2mm over the green stl. The fifth stl is red to yellow and 7mm thick. The final stl is blue to white and 9mm thick. The gradient was created by placing negative cubes, mostly rotated 3 degrees, over the top of each stl. By using separate stls these negative cubes have no effect on the stls adjacent to one being modified allowing you to create the stripes and other patterns present throughout the logo. I then had to plan the color changes so they would take place at appropriate levels in the print so that you would see enough of the two colors on either end of the gradient. I hope that you enjoy this print and are able to learn from it.
