A smiling skeleton in a sombrero sits framed at the center, surrounded by bright colors symbolizing remembrance and celebration.

At layer #18 (1.52mm) swap to Red

Please note, a height modifier was applied to ensure a thicker base - this results in the layer numbers being offset by 3 layers, however the heights remain consistent.

One AMS? No problem! There is a pause included before the 4th color is completed - one method to utilize one AMS is to assign the additional colors to previously used slots when sending your print. Here is an example of my preferred method and strategy:

Arrange the filaments in the AMS in order according to the print.   Assign the 5th and subsequent colors to the AMS numerically.   At the pause, replace the color in slot #1 with the 5th color, resume printing.   If you have more than one AMS or are manually changing filaments,  ensure you have removed the pause before printing.

This print is part of a coordinated Hueforge series by Manic 3D Prints, designed to showcase a classic Halloween aesthetic using just 4–5 filament colors. Each piece in the collection features rich black, warm pumpkin orange, creamy bone white, and golden autumn tones to create a unified, vintage-inspired display. Mix and match panels for a seamless look across your tiered trays, shelves, or gallery wall this spooky season!
