Tree of Life - Hueforge

Sized so you can print the frame on a standard sized printer. You can use any black PLA for the base layer, but you will have much better hueforge prints with Matte Charcoal Black, I've had great results with Polymaker PolyTerra Matte PLA. Just be aware that Matte filaments are slightly abrasive, not as bad as CF, but will wear out brass much faster than straight PLA. Consider using a hardened steel nozzle if you will be printing Matte filaments frequently. I use a Obxidian nozzle for everything, abrasive and non-abrasive alike, with great results.

Print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.16mm

The Model is 180x180mm in size

Filaments Used:
PLA PolyTerra Matte Charcoal Black Transmission Distance: 0.3
PLA PolyLite Dark Grey Transmission Distance: 1
PLA PolyLite Steel Grey Transmission Distance: 1
PLA PolyLite Grey Transmission Distance: 1
PLA PolyLite Pro White Transmission Distance: 5
This print uses 5 unique filaments

Swap Instructions:
Start with Charcoal Black
At layer #7 (0.64mm) swap to Dark Grey
At layer #12 (1.04mm) swap to Steel Grey
At layer #17 (1.44mm) swap to Grey
At layer #21 (1.76mm) swap to White for the rest.

It's a great design and you can set it for any size hueforge print you want. You can use the free version of Fusion360 to create new sizes easily, don't be afraid to try it out even if you've never used Fusion360 before.

Enjoy!
