Description

Minor Update: Fixed printer compatibility for P, X series printers. Should be able to print through the app now.

Can't seem to find a lot of Weeknd related prints on this platform so I decided to make this. Great gift for any "old-school" fan of TheWeeknd.

 

This is a full print size (25cm diameter) decorative Vinyl Record which features the album cover of House of Balloons by The Weeknd.

 

It is decorative (!!!), meaning it is not a playable vinyl record and does not hold any audio information. It is, however, perfect for wall art, alongside with other hiphop-themed items. Its is also lightweight (~65gr), but not very fragile, and can be hung easily.

 

You only need 2 colors to print this: Black and White. It was made using Hueforge (Personal License), and utilizes the Transimission Distance (TD) of filaments to create shades of gray between the bottom black layers and top white layers. This means that the TD of the white filament is very important. You cannot print this with Matte White filament. Any White filament with a TD of 6-9 will work well. Lower TD than this and you lose detail. You can try with colored filaments too if you want a more stylized look.
If you are unsure of your filament's TD you can try this tool created by another user to measure it with relative accuracy. I personally printed this with eSun PLA+ with a TD of approximately 7.5.

 

No AMS required. Included profile has an auto filament swap at layer #7, however if you don't own an AMS, you can just add a pause at that layer and swap the filaments from black to white manually. That is, start with black, then, at layer #7 (0.64mm), swap to White for the rest. Included profile also has optimized settings for Hueforge prints (will still take a couple of minutes to slice though). If you want to slice it yourself, make sure to print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.16mm.

 

I would also advise you to clean the build plate before printing. The print pretty much covers the entirety of the plate and the spot where you place your thumb when handling the plate *will* leave a mark on the bottom surface.

 

All rights of the album art belong to the artist The Weeknd and The Weeknd XO Inc, Republic Records. Made using Hueforge on Personal License for non-Commercial purposes. Vinyl effect template found on Vecteezy. Hueforge profile found on MakerWorld.

 

If you decide to print this, I would genuinely love to see it, please share it in your review or comments. Also, I am open to suggestions on other albums I can make in this format. I have done Kendrick's GNX album already, if you're interested, you an check it out here.

I'd love to make more Vinyl Records like this one. If you like the idea, you can show it to me with a boost!
