Hop Blossom - Earrings

Inspired by the natural beauty of hop cones, these earrings blend organic elegance with modern style. Their intricate layered design adds depth and texture, making them perfect for nature lovers, craft beer enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates botanical aesthetics.

This earring comes in two variations and does not require AMS. Both versions have an automatic pause at layer 15 for a single filament change.

1. Glazed Variant

This technique, which I call Glazing, uses very thin layers (0.08mm and 0.16mm) of white filament over the base color. This creates a shading effect, giving the piece a more dynamic look.

Think of it like applying a thin, translucent layer of paint that slightly alters the color underneath.

You can see the experiment in the attached image:
Starting with a red base color, I added, from left to right:

• 1 layer of 0.08mm,
• 2 layers of 0.08mm,
• 3 layers of 0.08mm,
• 4 layers of 0.08mm,

Printing Instructions:

🔹 Without AMS:

• Start the print with any base color you want.
• The printer will pause at layer 15.
• Change the filament to white for the Glazed effect or any other color for the Solid version (you can experiment with creative color combinations).

🔹 With AMS:

• I removed the pause set at layer 15.
• Select a color for Base object ( the Earring base color)
• Select color to white for the “Top Object” (or any other colors for the Solid version).
• See the attached image for reference.
