I am the DUNGEON MASTER

 


Look Ma, no paint!

Using multiple filament colors for 3D printing is no longer a new thing, but it is new to me. There are two ways to do this - manually change at specific print points or the Bambu A1 / A1 mini printers have a four filament spool holder and feed system that does it automatically. I don't have that add-on option, but you can control in the software what color filament you want to use and the printer will stop on the specific layer for a manual exchange which is the process used to produce this print.



The base plate and the riser were printed using black filament and then just before the lettering was to start the filament was changed to red prior to continuing the remainder of the print.

I think it turned out pretty cool - can sit on your desk, a shelf, or at the gaming table.
