Hydro Handbrake Top Part MIKU (M8 Nut Design)

This is a custom top handle for a hydraulic handbrake witch MIKU and 01 Text, specifically designed to house an M8 nut. The model features a multi-part design, allowing for clean multi-color printing without the need for manual painting in the slicer.

How to Import into Orca Slicer / Bambu Studio:

To ensure the multi-color elements stay in their correct positions:

When you drag the file into the slicer, a pop-up will appear: "This file contains several objects... Treat it as a single model containing several parts?"

Select "NO".

By selecting "No," the slicer will import the elements as individual objects, allowing you to easily assign different filaments/colors to each part while maintaining their designed alignment.

After the objects are loaded, you must use the "Auto-Arrange" feature to automatically distribute the elements on the build plate.

You can then easily assign different filament colors to the individual parts in the "Objects" list.

Print Settings & Assembly:

Orientation: Print with the hole facing up.

Walls: 3

Infill: 65%

Supports: I recommend adding manual supports only for the "MIKU" text to ensure it prints cleanly.

M8 Nut Insertion: You need to add a manual pause in your slicer at the layer where the nut cavity ends. Insert the M8 nut during the pause, then resume the print to lock it inside.

My Color & Material Recommendations:

Material: I used PLA for my print.

"MIKU" text: Light Blue (Press fit – should snap right in).

"01" text: Red (Needs glue to stay in place).

Main body: Black (or your choice).

This is my first published design, so please be patient and understanding! I hope you find it useful.
