FAQ
What CWB means?
C is for color, W is for White and B is for Black. It's a guide to know which colors are used in every test and in which position.

Can I use other colors besides Black and White?
Yes! You can use any color you want, just swap the color on the slicer.

Wich use does this test have?
You can use it to test if your filament transparency is good enough to print one of our Retrovibes prints!

Can it be printed using another material?
We recommend using PLA tested with our "Color blending tester" included in this file. But you're free to try with other materials, have fun!

This is for multicolor printers?
Yes, it's meant to be used only on multicolor printers.

Only 3 colors, what's the trick?
We take advantage of the natural transparency of the colors to make them blend with each other using thin layers.
With this technique, you can print with different values using only 3 colors!

Can I change the layer height?
We don't recommend changing the layer height, this model is specially designed to be printed in 0.2 layer height. We can't warranty good results with other heights.

If I don't have a multicolor printer, i will be able to print it?
Unfortunately no, this print is designed to be used only on printers with multicolor systems.
If you know how to modify G-CODES and have an idea to solve this, please contact me at hello@merla3d.com.

This model is a remix of the one that THESAMENAMETWICE made, he is the amazing artist responsible for the creation of this technique, check his unique works at here (https://www.printables.com/@TheSameNameTwice).
