Wow these are great! Are you willing to share the stl?

[–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Did you painted them or did a 2 colours print ?

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago

Two color print.

[–] PeleSpirit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's possible to do a 2 color print?

[–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

For complete @roller answer, you have devices which allow you to have one single extruder and provide several filaments of different colors too.

[–] roller@twit.social 2 points 1 year ago

@PeleSpirit @topinambour_rex yes, you can. With a dual extruder printer. Or if pause the printer mid way through and change the filament, is recommend using a printer with filament detect, it should move to the side so your prints don't get damaged by the hotend.

Would be really cool (and easy) to make a simple one with just a portal shape. Print with a grey background and then orange/blue portal shape

At first I thought the white was negative space and thought that was pretty shitty for a coaster. These are great - very cool idea.

This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
