I got a 3D printer. The Next day My wife got a new Honda CRV. I wanted to try printing in 2 colors via swapping the filament during a print so I decided to make her some 2 color Honda Key Fobs. Tip: You can buy bulk bags of various sized of Key rings from Hobby Lobby or Amazon. They are great to have around for lots of different projects. Instructions -Drawn in AutoCAD -Sliced with Slic3r Repatier host -Printed on a Printrbot Simple Metal -Printed from Printrbot White and Blue PLA at 208 deg. -Printed with modified (Simple mtlconfig) print settings changed top and bottom layer thickness from 3 to 5 changed infill from 20% to 40% Printing with multiple colors with Repatier host on a Metal Simple: -Print the base what ever color you like. -Print 1 or 2 layers of the H logo then pause the print and quickly use the manual control raise the z- axis up about 40 mm to get the hot end off the part to prevent it from melting your part or dripping plastic on your part. Quickly swap filament colors in the extruder. Click continue printing. It printed great in about 24 minutes ea.
