Radius Gauge Chips R1-30mm with Single Layer Color (no AMS!)

UPDATE: There is now a “no_text” version for each style that comes without the text-object, making it easy to do a single layer swap (on Z0.3) instead.

This remix uses only a single layer for the color change, making it a feasible print for single-extruder single-color printers (like mine).

The classic folder contains chips that are identical except for the font and the single layer. 

The classic_top_concave and classic_top_convex models are compatible with the original model and only change the font to be a single layer color change.

The remix folder is over-engineering a completely fine original model by adding a tab on the side and reducing the side-length by 0.1mm for easier retrieval and rotates the text by 90° for better readability when looking for a particular radius.

The remix_bottom model over-engineers the bottom by removing one side (adding a small chamfer), making it easier to tip over a chip you want to retrieve.

Print Settings: Chips

• Import only geometry and import objects as parts (in OrcaSlicer that means clicking Yes 30 times)
• Change the second part for each object to the text color
• 9999 Top Layers
• 0.25/0.2mm layer height (important, the chips must not be taller than 2mm)
• Manually change sequence in your slicer so that the the text is printed last (so two color changes)
• Slow down your first layer by a lot (15-30mm/s max) so that the text turns out crisp

Print Settings: Box

• Infill: 15% Gyroid is sufficient
• Walls: 3-4
• Bottom/Top: 3-4
• Top Parts:
  • Import only geometry and import objects as parts (in OrcaSlicer that means clicking Yes 30 times)
  • Change the second part for each object to the text color
  • Manually change sequence in your slicer so that the the text is printed last (so two color changes)
  • Slow down your first layer by a lot (15-30mm/s max) so that the text turns out crisp
