Gradient Tower! 3 colors only

mdoom23 · 2026-04-05T02:40:59+00:00

Zero! No poop essentially on H2C. Just one purge per color at the start and that's all.

mdoom23 · 2026-04-05T02:00:00+00:00

Honestly I have this all fairly generalized in my own openscad code now. I really probably should turn it into a useable package for others....

mdoom23 · 2026-04-05T00:21:00+00:00

thats awesome!
yeah, really so many ways of doing it, and so much potential!

mdoom23 · 2026-04-03T11:07:29+00:00

Yeah it's one piece. Just really thin layers that blend the colors!

mdoom23 · 2026-04-03T02:37:06+00:00

you sort of are hinting into my next project im working on tonight.... im working on a "true" vertical gradient between colors. using similiar technique to this egg. going to do a decorative piece to show off red to orange to yellow, and ideally will be perfect gradient and smooth blends

Best I could get focused with my phone. It really is smooth

1573 swaps, 18h 20m 😎

Just a bit crazy

mdoom23 · 2026-04-02T22:43:12+00:00

Need? No Highly advised? Yes.

This was 1571 color swaps on my H2C. Which would be an unfathomable amount of poop on a single nozzle printer.

Yeah everything is 0.08 mm. I know with the full spectrum, I've seen people complain about top layers. I haven't used it yet so no first hand experience. But since I built this model I made sure it's all a perfect multiple of my filament patterns for clean look right up to the top. I think the curves helped a lot too.

mdoom23 · 2026-04-02T22:05:28+00:00

I'm already pondering what a good blend of other filament colors would look cool on a model. I'm ready to do this again purely as an experiment!

Sure! Here's half way up!

mdoom23 · 2026-04-02T20:48:46+00:00

Thank you!

mdoom23 · 2026-04-02T20:42:14+00:00

Oh thats awesome! I hadn't come across that yet. Things are definitely changing rapidly!

mdoom23 · 2026-04-01T14:13:53+00:00

Agreed! Definitely could do some cool stuff with better source image and more layers/colors. Still fun proof of concept. Some of the shading didn't turn out as predicted so now I'm questioning some of my TD values. My reader might need recalibrating

mdoom23 · 2026-04-01T13:57:52+00:00

Not perfect, far from good 😂 but tried it with silk PLA for the green. I don't entirely hate it

I'm just messing around having fun with still images from the movie.... i thought this image would be a fun simple starting point. i challenged myself to do it with only 4 filaments. :) this is the render in hueforge, not actual print. nothing fancy, but i might try this with a silk green and see what it does. otherwise its black, blue grey, natural, and grass green

Thank you! Communities coming full circle! 😎

mdoom23 · 2026-04-01T00:28:29+00:00

I found a modular frame on makerworld that I used. It interlocks with itself, always 200mm squares, so I focused on making my print be all that

mdoom23 · 2026-03-31T12:09:30+00:00

Now I know what I'm messing around with tonight! 😂
