Liberty or Death Skull Badge hueforge print

☕ Enjoying my work? Consider buying me a coffee – buymeacoffee.com/jdau

A patriotic skull-and-muskets badge built around the bold “LIBERTY OR DEATH” banner, with a colonial hat, crossed flintlocks, American flag stripes, stars, and the 1776 to 2026 anniversary mark. It has the look of a hard-edged revolutionary morale patch, mixing old war-room symbolism with modern red, white, blue, and black contrast.

This is made to be displayed somewhere visible, on the fridge, in the garage, above the workbench, in a man cave, on a shelf, or as part of a patriotic wall display. The skull, banner, rifles, and flag layout give it plenty of presence without needing a large footprint, making it a strong collector-style print for anyone who likes bold American designs.

• Sparse Infill Pattern: Rectilinear
• Turn off "Detect Narrow internal solid infill"
• 0.08mm layer height

Filaments used:

• PLA BambuLab Blue
• PLA BambuLab Basic Black
• PLA BambuLab Basic Jade White

Swap Instructions:

• Start with Blue.
• At layer #8 (0.72mm), swap to Black.
• At layer #11 (0.96mm), swap to Jade White.
• At layer #20 (1.68mm), swap to Black.

Extra Tips for hueforge prints!

• Set your filament temps to 10c lower ~ 210c
• Ensure detect narrow internal solid infill is off
• Resizing! Ensure that you unselect “uniform scale”, and only modify the X & Y axis, the Z axis MUST remain the same

• Setting your retraction length to ½ of what it currently is will reduce stringing 

   

To speed up printing,  you can use a height range modifier - Only do this after the swaps/pauses have been inserted and the model sliced first!

i.e. where a model has the following listed: "Optional height range modifier supported up to 0.72mm where noted."

1.  Right click on the body under the Objects tab, and select height range modifier

2. Change the two values specified below

3. Reslice and watch your print time drop down!
