Printer Warning Sign - Do Not Touch

thingiverse

A sticker was my inspiration to design this funny warning sign for my 3D Printer. Change filament color from black to white after printing to the layer height of 1mm to make the embossed areas visible. ### Which one should I print? I recommend the *INVERTED* files as the texts are embossed. This way it requires less material and time to print. If your printer doesn't handle fine structures well (e.g. stringing is a problem), try the *enhanced* files. Here the texts are debossed. On some printers this may produce better results but on some printers worse. The most flat design are the normal ones where the WARNING area is not raised. Here a third swap to red filament is not possible with single extrusion. Also for each design there exists one design for normal (cartesian) printers or for delta printers. Those designs are available in both, English and German. ### How to print colors: If you don't want to paint the print, you can print the sign in three steps by changing the filament after the height of 1mm. On the inverted part start with white filament, then change to black and finally change to red filament. On the enhanced files start with black filament, then change to black and finally print in red. The "easy" part only supports a black basis and a single swap to white filament. If you have any suggestions or problems please leave a comment. I was able to improve these files multiple times through the thoughts of this great community. Thank you! ### Changes: 1st EDIT: As suggested I also added enhanced files where the area around the word "WARNING" is raised 0,7mm above the white area. Now you can change to red filament after a second swap. 2nd EDIT: Also check out a design which was created earlier than mine. Before the author commented here I wasn't aware of this. But I respect that and want to support him/her too: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2959473 I really don't know where the idea for this warning sign originated. But I did not steal from any other creator on thingiverse. The idea came from a sticker I found on reddit. 3rd EDIT: I also added "inverted" files, where the texts are embossed. For those files start with white filament and continue with black after 1mm. The third layer is the red one.
