Manual color change
Printed on MK3.5 MMU with 0.4 nozzle. Looks great. Would also like a version with a coloured panic button. Had to choose a longer screw because I have a first batch MINI with F1 parts. Seems a big step to R8 version. (edited)
Love it, Love it, Love it. To bad I did not print it with a smaller nozzle. Detail in my letters fell out. Looks like i get to try my hand at small nozzle printing next week.
Isnt there a way to print multi color facing down - ive seen it on some models
@AndrewPawelski It is printed face down, as I mentioned in the Print Instructions:
These .3mf files are meant to be sliced in PrusaSlicer 2.6 and to be printed with a MMU. Use PrusaSlicer's default PETG 0.2mm presets. For a little extra strength I used 3 perimeters and 20% infill. Print face down on a textured sheet.
I only rotated the LCD cover face up, to make a clearer screenshot. In the provided .3mf files, the cover is already facing down.
Thanks for your comment and if you are going to print the LCD cover, I'd appreciate it if you would share your make!
I am not familiar with “modifiers”, so I may have ended up doing a lot of unnecessary work, to be able to print the 40pc lid models? . In 3D Builder and in Cura, the 40pc lids look like solid structures. They also have kerf lines separating them into three parts each.
I found that I could “un-merge” the parts, scale and subtract the modifiers from the lids, Boolean merge the parts, and print the lids shown in the photos, using transparent PETG.
Update (15 March2023): When I later needed a second box, I made the 30pc lids. Although these did have the hex pattern cut out of them, there were still kerf lines in both lids. Again, I deleted one side, tweaked and merged the other, then duplicated and mirrored the one to make the other (though I could just have printed the one lid twice.) These, I printed in Silk PLA. One of the tabs snapped off, when I pushed the lid closed without first pushing in from the sides. Maybe PETG is the better of the two materials to use, for that reason. I have been able to super-glue that tab back on though, and now make a habit of pushing the ends of the lid to release those catches, before opening the lid.
I have not tried printing the smallest lid.
I also got away with using M3x25 bolts as hinge pins, since I didn’t have M3x30. (edited)
@WhatWouldAnEngineerD Apparently not all slicers interprets the .3mf files from PrusaSlicer the same way.
I've added the .stl files of the covers with the hexagon pattern already cut out.
As for the kerf lines, these are in the original files by @Mathieu_340410. I believe them to be gone in the uploaded stls.
Thanks for your comments and you rating 👍 (edited)
Hi. I can't find the hex version of these models.

@_FirstLayer Okay. I dug further. I extracted the data from the .3mf file. I'm guessing that you saved the .3mf file from PrusaSlicer. It seems that PrusaSlicer has stored some meta data that indicates which of the volumes are negative. Unfortunately, only PrusaSlicer is going to know to read that metadata. Unfortunately, while the vector information in the .3mf is universal, the meta data is not. Everything that's not PrusaSlicer just sees a bunch of volumes in the 3mf files. If you'd like me to delete my comments, let me know. Not sure this kind of conversation needs to stay here. (edited)
@EthansDad3D As far as I'm concerned, you don't have to remove your comments. They just might be helpful to others too. 👍
Thank you!
Printed at 50% scale, 15% infill, brim, no supports using standard profile. PolyLite PLA White.
This printed very easily, and very nicely.
Nice print! Printed with tree supports, the bottom is pretty rough. Used it to test layer height - 0.2mm, 0.1mm, 0.05mm.
0.2 layer, 0.4 nozzle, white PLA perfect print. Just remember to set vaze mode (edited)
@Jevgenijus_398397 W🤩w, your tree is awesome!
While visiting Brussels, I also visited the Design Museum Brussels, to see ao, the Prusa3D Pro Automated Farm System (AFS)
It was so great to see the AFS live in action. It's almost mesmerizing to watch the system print "Snowflakes" on its own. The way it pops the prints off the print bed is fun to watch.
The rest of the exhibition and the museum's permanent collection is also well worth seeing. So if you're in Brussels, don't miss it. The Atomium is just around the corner.

I printed this Droplet Vase in wood filament. It's a supportless version of this model: https://www.printables.com/model/126215-droplet-vase
Printed with thermochromic filament, so it can acutally change color!
Great little chameleon model. Your daughter did a great job adding character to the model. I printed mine in Bambu Labs Basic Green Basic PLA at 0.16mm layer height. At 0% infill and 3 shells, it took only 57 minutes to print on my Bambu P1S. Tree supports worked great.
Printed with Prusament PETG (galaxy black, orange, signal white, gray) and Eryone PETG red.
I modified the settings to 'single extruder multi material' and did 21 filament changes manually. This took me a few minutes, but it worked perfectly.
Thanks for sharing!
