EVA Themed New Year Mahjong

I really love the anime EVA. I've watched it countless times and read numerous interpretations. When brainstorming a mahjong theme, I naturally thought of the numerical sequences in EVA, so I incorporated them into the design

· Considering the approaching Chinese New Year and my affection for Asuka, I chose red as the dominant color, and the logo is from Unit-02

· I originally intended to display the tile faces with patterns, but due to limited time and energy, I ultimately opted for text

· I lacked the energy to devise new rules, so I directly adopted traditional mahjong rules, only altering the text on the tiles. Consequently, the model types, Angels, and SEELE numbers only extend to 9. There's a slight feeling of arbitrarily fitting things in. This design is primarily based on the TV series concept, with few elements used, which meant directly omitting some movie adaptations, as well as Rei Ayanami, Unit-00, and so on

Here are my thoughts after printing

· Ironing was enabled in the print profile! Without ironing, the printed model had a more pronounced fuzzy texture

The first print had ironing enabled with default parameters, and I noticed some material overflow onto adjacent colors, forming a thin layer. I initially thought it was an ironing issue. For the second print, I disabled ironing, but the overflow problem persisted. Upon closer observation, I realized this issue only occurred on smaller, individual color blocks, likely due to excess extrusion during multi-color printing. It should be possible to sand it off

· Since the mahjong tiles are relatively small, some fonts required clear printing. Many strokes were bolded and stretched, and some traditional characters were replaced with simplified or variant forms. Overall, it looks decent, but aiming for absolute perfection would certainly be unachievable

· The text and logo were designed with only 2 layers, resulting in fewer filament changes, just 8 in total, which is very economical

If you encounter any other issues during printing, feel free to discuss them. Thank you
