UPDATE: A new profile has been added for people without an AMS unit. You will need to manually unload/load your filaments when the printer reaches each pause, then resume printing each time until complete.

IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE PRINTING

I have uploaded two 3MF Files along with the STL. The First for 1 AMS and the second for people with 2 AMS units.

To print this with 1 AMS unit you need to manually switch out your black and dark blue spools (slot 1 and 2) to white (1) and purple (2) when the black and dark blue have completed and fully retracted. I recommend waiting until the lighter blue (Azure) starts printing, then proceeding to swap out spools as indicated above. (Note when swapping mid print the AMS unit does not auto feed the spool like it does before you start printing, so make sure you push at least three to four inches in and that the light indicator goes on. When it comes time to print the 5th color (white) it will feed as normal.) If you substitute colors results will vary.

If you have two AMS units just use the 2 AMS print profile, load the filaments as below and print.

If you do not have an AMS, fear not, you can still print this by changing your filaments manually.

Avoid other print profiles that try to save time by using a thicker layer height. This layer height is necessary to blend the colors.

This is a filament painting of The Dark Knight using original artwork. Like all of my models this is for personal use only. If you would like to hang this here is my frame which fits it perfectly. The photo attached is the printed model and frame.

Like all Hueforge prints this model produces very little waste (7 poops total, white is used twice in this model).

Some of my other prints have more notes and tips for first time Hueforge printers.

Print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.16mm
