DIY Instructions:

  1. First Rule of MakerChip, It's called a MakerChip, not a coin 😀
  2. Size Matters! A MakerChip is 40mm dia.. x 3mm to 3.5mm thick.
  3. Open Bambu Studio
  4. Drag/Drop the Base Circle into slicer - K2_MakerChip_v1-Back.stl.
  5. Add the version of Chip Decoration you want to use.
  6. Center the Chip decoration
  7. Switch to Objects view (In the Process dialog box in the slicer - Photo Included)
  8. Select objects, right click and Merge.
  9. Slice to check your MakerChip Top and Bottom!

Adding your own logo:

  1. Create your logo as SVG or STL (You can use simple online tools to convert .png to .svg),
    1. Logo z-height only needs to be 0.6mm to 0.8mm.
  2. Drop your logo into Bambu Studio.
  3. Flip your logo so it's face down. Change your view to look from below your MakerChip.
  4. Size your logo (Easyier to use the scale/move tools in Bambu Studio) to fit your Maker Chip. You can scale, but be sure to maintain your .8mm height.
  5. In the Objects view, select your logo, then select the assembly (so both are selected), right click and merge/combine.
  6. Slice to verify you completed this correctly, and Print!

Adding your own QR Code:

  1. I've had great success using: https://genqrcode.com/generator/stl to create QRCodes.
  2. NOTE: “Trim the fat…” removing “http://” and using the shortest version of your URL will produce the easiest QRCode to print/read.  
  3. Create your QR code as STL
    1. Size is 26mm for most chips (you can always scale in the slicer)
    2. QR-Code z-height only need to be 0.6mm to 0.8mm.
  4. Size your QR-Code to fit your Maker Chip. You can scale, but be sure to maintain your .8mm height.
  5. Select the chip and flip it over, then center the QR-code from below like you did with your logo.
  6. In the Objects view, select your QR-Code, then select the assembly (so both are selected), right click and merge/combine.
    1. Dont forget to flip it back over once merged.
  7. Slice to verify you completed this correctly, and Print!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you slice and you find an object is not being displayed.  Adjust the objects order in the merged assembly. Simply drag up/down and slice to see the results. I have also seen strange/failed results when painting objects in the slicer. Paiting can cause issues with merged objects.
