Robert Redford (1936-2025) - HueForge 2 Color

When I woke up yesterday morning, I wasn't expecting to create this HueForge.  I was born in the late 1960's and growing up, Robert Redford's films had a huge impact on my appreciation for a story well told and effortlessly acted.  Whilst Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid is widely acknowledged as perhaps his greatest film, I preferred The Sting in my younger days and as I became more aware of the world around me, All The President's Men made me stop and think about the balance of power in the world.
I don't normally create tributes (the only one I've done before was for Ozzy Osbourne https://makerworld.com/en/models/1637649-ozzy-osbourne-1948-2025-hueforge-2-color ) and I'll only create them for people that I admired and who had a personal and positive impact on my life.  I finally finished this design at just after 4am this morning, but the last thing I wanted to do was to create something that was rushed and not up to my own standards.

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.

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 a considerable amount 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:-
