Start of my build log for my Mardi Gras Turtle. Have my BOM, just waiting on my frame. Purple frame from dllpdf, using Polymaker green ABS for the main color and gold for the accent. Printing starts today. Pictures soon.

Welp now he needs to do it and each lane needs a subtle hint of red, blue, purple and orange.

First plate of parts done

#

OK print trays in blue, purple, red, and orange OR the inlays

north summit Oct 1, 2024, 2:42 PM

#

Hmm good question

kindred bridge Oct 1, 2024, 2:44 PM

#

I think the inlays would be more subtle and equate to the amount of that color they have on

north summit Oct 1, 2024, 2:45 PM

#

I think you stick with your original color scheme and just use the colors as accents for each lane. Like maybe the feeders and inlays

sorry to be a pain can you list the parts in orange as unsure whats accent and whats normal

#

Well my BT is working. Just have to get my toolhead cutter setup. I'm using the SB toolhead and Dragon UHF. Here are my load/unload settings. I think these are right.

#

The melt zone in the dragon uhf is about 35.5 mm so leaving variable_retract_length at 26 shouldn't take the filament out of the melt zone.

#

I'm changing pushback_length to 20 since I don't want the cut to get close to the heatbreak and the heatsink is 26mm
