Nadja's Nightclub Sign

Rendition of Nadja's Nightclub neon sign from What We Do In The Shadows Season 4.  Love the show, and had to recreate this sign.  Nadja's face is printed in glow in the dark filament for extra effect at night.  Model was created by me using Inkscape to extract the curves from a picture of the sign.

Printed in three parts separated by filament swap commands in between each.  Select all models in slicer and merge to align into their assembly position.  You can create a gcode file for each and stich together manually into a single file, or print each seperately one after the other.  Be careful with the setup for the line prints to avoid crashing the nozzle. See notes below.

First, print the base as normal.  I used matte black with ironing on.

Second, swap filament to gloss red and print the Nadja's text and hair. Critical parameters: Z-offset 4mm to print on top of base.  Z-hop 1mm to avoid crashing into lines during travel. Do not include purge line or bed adhesion skirt/brim.

Third, swap filament to white or glow in the dark and print the Nadja's face. Critical parameters same as the letters: Z-offset 4mm to print on top of base.  Z-hop 1mm to avoid crashing into lines during travel. Do not include purge line or bed adhesion skirt/brim.

This was a challenging print, but I love the result.  Printables would not let me upload my final merged gcode file due to invalid commands (?), sorry.

Enjoy!
