The Last Samurai - HueForge 2 Color
Print Profile(2)
Description
It can be difficult to get a HueForge right with a limited colour palette, but I'm challenging myself to design HueForges that look great, using subjects I enjoy, using as few colours as possible along with keeping printing and slicing time to a minimum. It's not always possible, and It's not easy to achieve when it is possible, but it is rewarding when you finally get it right.
One thing that really annoys me when I'm looking for HueForges to print are people who use a source image to promote their HueForge - it never looks anything like the end result. I always provide only photographs of the actual printed design so you know what to expect.
Boost Me (for free)
If you like any of my designs, please consider boosting them. It's free for you to do, but any designer will tell you that creating these designs takes many hours, a great deal of effort, and multiple prints to get things just right. It's a good way of showing your appreciation at no cost to yourself.
Very few people seem to leave reviews or comments on designs, and it's incredibly important to designers so they know if they're getting things right. So, please leave a comment or review. I like to learn, so constructive criticism, suggestions for future designs and your genuine feedback are always welcome.
All the settings and colour changes are in the print profile, but should you not have an AMS, after slicing, replace the colour changes with pauses and make manual colour swaps as detailed below. I'd strongly suggest not changing any other settings in the slicer, as my printing profiles are highly customised to produce the best quality HueForge.
If you decide to resize any of my designs, you can only resize on the X & Y axes. DO NOT RESIZE THE Z AXIS! If you choose to ignore this instruction, it will change the layer heights that the colours change at and destroy the end result.
I have implemented a height modifier. This will only work if you use my print profile! This one change knocks nearly an hour off the printing time by changing the layer height of the border only. It has no detrimental result to the finish of the design whatsoever.
One final thing - please don't turn ironing on for the top surface. This shouldn't need to be said, but HueForges rely on texture and interplay with light. Ironing will reduce the quality of the image. It's turned off in my print profile for this exact reason.
If you're looking for a stand to display your HueForges, I can highly recommend this one:-
