Use this model to create a color pallet that shows what hues are possible by printing layers using different thickness. The model starts with a 1mm tall 20mm by 20mm square, and increases the square height by 0.10 each block. This creates filament color swatch like you’d see in a paint store. Pick two filaments you have, print using the first, one filament change after first block, then the print completes after the following 9 blocks, increasing the new color thickness each time, which creates the colors.
Here’s what I tested and found:
This model will show what colors you can get, and what layer thickness to use to slice to get that color. The gcode is sliced at 0.10, so if you print at 0.20 you'll only have half the options (every other one on the swatch). Ironing can be left off as it does not change the color options (but increases time). If you reslice at 0.5 you could g twice the hues, but the color change will be more subtle.
The author marked this model as their own original creation.
