Great designed, learned how to change colors in prusa-slicer, so with my single filament printer, i was able change colors and make this cool multicolor print.
That's incorrect, what is pictured can be done on a single filament printer. You put a change filament operation into your GCODE (done via the GUI) at the layer you want to change the color, then just change the filament when your printer stops. In PrusaSlicer this is done by slicing the model, dragging the layer bar down to the desired layer and clicking the plus button. Of course this means that you can only change color at layer boundaries and you need to be there each time to manually do it.
So I am currently trying to print this. I have printed it twice now and each time the sections are being fused together and I can't get them to snap loose. My current printer is a FLSUN SR, running pla, 0.4 nozzle and layer height of .2mm with 15% infill. Any help would be great.
Try turning down your print speed, make sure that your bed is level, if the fuse is at the point of contact with your bed turn your bed heat down. These are my initial suggestions, knowing which slicing software you are using would also be beneficial.
Make sure you use no board adhesion. I had an issue with my first couple of attempts due to this. The pieces are a little bit stuck off the printer but they should break free with a little bit of force. My kids love these! Very cool and love all the different textures and print options.
I'm pretty new to 3D printing but recently discovered flow rate calibration. After dialing in flow rate (default was way high) on my Neptune 4 Plus I wanted to try a print like this. Came out great!
Awesome design! While I use physical tools like these for focus, I also rely on digital tools like aero whatsapp to keep my chats distraction-free with its built-in privacy and custom controls. Great combo for staying productive and relaxed!
The variety of textures is a nice touch! The mix versions sound especially fun for finding the perfect fidget feel. Great idea download whatsapp plus for gifts too.
I had success on my first try! I printed at 80% because I wanted them a bit smaller, and it worked great! The middle ring was a tiny bit rough to spin right after printing, but it only took a moment of spinning it before it smoothed out.
You need to be careful with Creality filaments. One I got was brittle and broke off in my print head assembly and nozzle. Creality won't even give me a refund when I have pics of everything. I called Flashforge and they are sending me a new print head assembly and nozzle. Creality won't honor anything unless it's Creality. They have been giving me a run-around for 2 weeks now. I would be very careful buying anything from them.

what did you do for changing colour? i have a single filament printer too so would love to know your process. thanks
You need a multi color printer, otherwise use a gradient filament for the appearance of multiple colors.

It ist the best fidget ever
Anyone tried this with ABS @BambuX1c ?

Planning to pass these out at a car show/parade next week. Thanks for the great design!
printing right now on ender 3 v3 se with white pla, I'm doing honeycomb, I hope It works!
