Jack Skellington Pop Out Print - Hueforge Hybrid
This unique print-in-place Jack Skellington piece utilises a hybrid printing method that combines Hueforge filament painting and a traditional 3D print model. Jack's head sticks out of the print, giving it a little bit of a personality!
Important for this print: Black is repeated just before the head is printed. If you only have one AMS, I suggest leaving black in Slot 1 and removing AMS slot 2 once its finished printing to replace it with the colour for the head (if using something other than white). If you are using white, you do not need to remove and replace anything! Just assign the white to the slot your white filament is in.
The included 3MF has all the settings already applied if you are using the profile attached, but if you are downloading the raw files and using your own print profile, please follow the instructions below.
Print Instructions
- The print swaps filaments 5 times, with the final time being the colour of Jack's head that ‘pops out’ from the print. In my print, I used a 5th colour (Glow in the Dark), but you can use what ever colour you want, or even reuse the white.
- I printed with supports for the head, but depending on your printer, you may get away with not having supports. I have altered the head to be printed with 5% infill.
- I printed this file with adaptive layer heights for the head to speed things up (0.2 for the base of the head and 0.04 towards the top of the head). This should be reflected in the 3MF file. You can certainly do this, or use your own settings as well.
- Post processing includes removing supports for the head, through the holes for the eyes. The tree supports that I used with my settings were fairly easy to remove, however if you are worried, please feel free to use your own support settings to ensure ease of clean-up and removal!
