Jaws of the Lion Inlay Drink Coaster (using single extruder)
This is not a plug and play print for beginners. You must know how to utilize expert features of Prusa slicer or be familiar with multicolor printing. This uses two files for printing the same object, the inlay is very thin (2 layers). Printing the inlay second minimizes the color changes. See order of printing below. .3mf file is included as an example of my settings.
For a finishing touch, cut self adhesive felt for the bottoms.
Achieve and inlay using 2 color extrusion with a single extrusion printer.
2 Files for each coaster: _infill.stl and .stl
The _infil.stl must be the second file in your slicer. (Using Prusa Slic3R)
The layer height must be 0.28mm with these files (if you've done this before, you can modify or create your own inlays). The inlay portion is two layers thick, any more than that and nozzle will begin bumping other color.
What happens:
Layer 1: First color begins printing (doesn't print inlay area). Grey color.
Layer 1: Color change alert via code scripts (use your own method or Prusa swap code below), swap your filament color.
Layer 1: Prints Black Inlay.
Layer 2: Prints black inlay only, color change alert via code scripts. change filament to first color
Layer 2: Prints Grey.
Layer...through finish: prints grey.
Bottom Layer: Hilbert Curve. (important for excellent surface finish!)
Infil: Gyroid
Top layer: Monotonic, rectilinear.
Tool change code script (expert custom g-code in printer settings) triggers on extruder selection in object window. Set printer for 2 extruders, change extruder for inlay to #2.:
NOTE: this code inserts at start of print also (annoying) requesting an initial color swap. Hit continue through it.
