3. 🖨️ LAYER-BY-LAYER FILAMENT CHANGE GUIDE:
This file is **100% optimized for printers without an AMS system**. Achieve a two-color logo with a professional finish by performing a simple manual pause (**M600**) in your favorite slicer (Slic3r, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, or Cura).
Instructions for 0.28 mm layer height:
1. Phase 1 (Cap Base): Start printing with the background filament (Satin Black or Anthracite Gray is recommended for an original look).
2. Pause for color change (M600): Program the pause exactly at Layer 38 (approximate print height: 10.64 mm).
3. **Phase 2 (Seat Logo)**: Introduce the contrast color (Metallic Silver, White, or FR Red) to print the upper layers of the logo relief.
4. **Completion**: Let the printer finish the final layers to get a crisp, perfectly defined logo without unwanted color bleeding.
