<p>The Answer.</p> <p>Also, just having fun trying out a some 3D CAD and printing ideas. More versions on the way.</p> <p>This one : 42 Splash</p> <p>An attempt to show the numbers falling into a pool of liquid. Turned out pretty well, I think, with the "liquid" printed in silk blue.</p> <p>OnShape 3D CAD files :</p> <p><a href="https://cad.onshape.com/documents/5647669b38bc774a5e32b5ae/w/512984f608cea4472e7bb9e6/e/ebd58c43febee22b23b6226f">https://cad.onshape.com/documents/5647669b38bc774a5e32b5ae/w/512984f608cea4472e7bb9e6/e/ebd58c43febee22b23b6226f</a></p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Print in PLA using the 3mf file provided - prints in two colors with filament switching. Otherwise :</p> <ul> <li>10% rectilinear infill</li> <li>support enforcer under the overhanging end of the "2"</li> <li>contact Z distance = 0.2mm (for supports)</li> </ul> <p>As noted, I used silk blue for the "liquid" part of the print and it gave a nice effect. Take care when removing the support material from the "2" as the base of the "2" is thinly joined to the base (I added a dab of superglue to the base of the "2" for additional support).</p> <p>This print would probably work well with any two contrasting colors.</p>
