3D model description

A button designed to be worn by the birthday girl or boy. The design is capable of being printed in up to 4 colors if you follow the instructions below. The button is designed to work with 8mmx3mm neodymium magnets - one magnet is press fit into the inset hole and the other magnet is used behind the clothing to keep the button in place.

Here is an example of the layer colors I used for printing with a 0.2mm (200um) layer height using Cura 3.2.1.

1) Blue at layer 1
2) Red at layer 11 (the first balloon's top surface needs to be complete before this change)
3) Green at layer 21 (the top surface of the button needs to be complete before this change)
4) Yellow at layer 26 (the second balloon's top surface needs to be complete before this change)

The first balloon and back of the button will be the first color.
The surface color of the button will be the second color.
The second balloon will be the third color.
The text will be the fourth color.

There is some flexibility in the layers chosen for the color changes. You may need to use layer view within your slicer to find the best points within your print to stop. The entire print could be made in one color and painted for those unable to pause at specific layer heights.

If there is an interest in other words or objects on the button, let me know.
