Human Experiment (Hueforge Filament Painting)

Hueforge filament painting (4 colors) of an abstract sketch, imagining a human experiment several centuries ago.

The photo shows an actual print of the model (scaled down to 130x130mm).

I like the more cartoon-ish look when printed with matte filaments (see my make of this filament painting) - you will get smoother, more photo-like transitions with non-matte filaments. Please choose your filaments accordingly.

For this print I used the following filaments:

• Eryone PLA matte - Deep Black
• Bambulab PLA matte - Dark Blue
• Bambulab PLA matte - Latte Brown
• eSun PLA matte - Milky White

Other filaments that I have tried also worked well... experiment with what you have!

The following PLA filaments also work well:

• Bambu Lab PLA matte - Charcoal
• Eryone PLA matte - Navy Blue
• Bambulab PLA matte - Latte Brown
• Bambu Lab PLA matte - Ivory White

How to print:

• Start with Black
• At layer #7 (0.64mm) swap to Dark Blue
• At layer #10 (0.88mm) swap to Latte Brown
• At layer #16 (1.36mm) swap to White for the rest.

The original STL is 200 x 200 mm. If you want to scale it down, please scale only X and Y - do not scale z (height). I added a 130mmx130mm pre-scaled version to the download section.

Print with a layer height of 0.08mm and a first layer of 0.16mm. 100% infill (aligned rectilinear), 0.4mm nozzle. I recommend the slicer/speed settings from this Youtube video by the maker of Hueforge:

As usual, first slicing can take quite a while (> 2M triangles). 

If you see a warning in your slicer that floating areas were found, you can safely ignore it. No supports are required to print this image.
