Muliticolor Throwing Cards

thingiverse

These are throwing cards designed to achieve a multicolor print on a single extruder printer. I reccomend using the Prusa slicer since it is the one I was using and I know it works. This print requires preparing two gcode files that will be executed one after the other without removing the part printed by the first gcode from the printbed. For this reason the printer must be well calibrated to avoid any offset in the X Y axes between the printed parts. You first need to slice and print the back logo of the card. Then change the filament color and proceed with printing the gcode of the rest of the card. While slicing both files make sure that their position on the printbed is proper so that the back logo "sits" within the card body. For tha reason it is good to import the whole card into the slicer and split it into two models. Then make the two gcodes hiding one model and then the other. While preparing the main body gcode add two filament changes at 1.2mm and 1.4mm (when printing with 0.2 layers). This will enable you to make the "A" and the symbol in a different color. I advise setting the infill density to 100% so that the red or black color of the sybmol remains invisible through the card body (especially when the card body is white).
