That's No Moon - Hueforge Hybrid Print
Everyone's favourite Space Station, now hueforged and ready to be displayed wherever you like!
Another simple print-in-place model without supports needed, though it does take about 5 hours to print due to the details of the ‘Space’ portion of the print. I used 5 colours for this print, but you can get away with 4, by repeating the second colour - blue-grey (you can use grey) for the Death Star.
If you are using Bambu Studio, the 3MF file should contain all settings that you will need for the print.
If you are not using Bambu Studio or Bambu printer, please download the STL instead of the 3MF and use the instructions/recommendations below:
Print Instructions:
- For the Hueforge portion (0mm - 2.00mm) print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.04mm with a base layer of 0.2mm
