✨ Tips for a shiny cent effect
- Pig matte – Coin shiny:
It is best to print the pig in matte PLA (e.g., black or anthracite). This makes the real coin stand out visually extremely well. - If you print the coin (optional):
- Use Silk/Glossy PLA in copper or gold
- Either print two-color (filament change at 1–2 mm)
- Or use an MMU/IDEX for automatic color separation
- Perfect look of the coin surface:
- Print top layer slowly (15–20 mm/s)
- High wall count (4–5) ensures clearer contours
- Activate ironing for a mirror-smooth surface
If you insert the real coin:
- Slight chamfering of the edge in the model helps with insertion
- You can fix the coin with a drop of glue
- For maximum shine, treat it with metal polish beforehand
