Shark Graffiti - Filament Painting
AVAILABLE FOR COMMERCIAL RESALE WITH TIER 2 - V2 FRAME ONLY
This complex color/low waste model uses 10 different colors (11 instances). AMS/MMU not needed. Manual filament swaps can easily be done with pauses. This model will only be available to club members.
I have included 2 different 3MF files for Bambu Studio. One for people with an AMS unit, and one for people with NO AMS with pauses already set (manual color changes). I used 2 AMS units to print this and assigned colors 9&10 into the AMS slots 2&3 (black i used twice so I didn't swap slot 1), and then just swapped them out when color 4 started printing. If you have 1 AMS you can assign the filaments based on the reference chart below. If you do not have Bambu Studio I recommend using it to look through the settings and copying them to make a Hueforge profile template for yourself in your slicer of choice so that future prints will be quick.
Pro Tip: If you are using more colors than you have AMS units you can manually unload the last spool after the print starts. With 1 AMS when it gets to slot 4 in the print it will error and force a pause. You can then load the new colors (5-7) in AMS slots 1-3 then put color 4 back in and repeat this process by unloading color 4 when it is complete it will pause when it is time for color 8. With 2 AMS you can do the same above just with AMS slot 8. It will pause at 8 then you can load colors 9-12 into your AMS slots 1-4. You don't have to let it force pause if you make it back in time to swap. This is handy if you are worried about missing the timing of a spool swaps.

AMS SLOT GUIDE: The model colors will go in and be assigned to the following slots depending how many AMS units you have.
MODEL COLOR - [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]
1 AMS - SLOT ---- [1] [2] [3] [4] [1] [2] [3] [4] [1] [2] [3] [4]
2 AMS - SLOT ---- [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [1] [2] [3] [4]
3 AMS - SLOT ---- [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]
Print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.16mm. The profiles have a height modifier to print the first 0.64mm @ 0.16 layer height as that is the min depth/non blended portion of the base color. If you use a different slicer set all your color changes before doing the modifier as it changes the amount of layers. This shaves off approximately half an hour of print time. If you substitute filaments results will vary. If you have Hueforge you can import the STL and see how different filaments will change the outcome before printing. If you have questions hit me up.
