Project: Multicolor LIDL Logo for Single Extruder 3D Printers

Description:

This project presents a multicolor rendition of the LIDL logo designed for single extruder 3D printers. The photo showcases the outcome achieved through the combination of five individual prints.

Printing Instructions:

File Preparation:

• Upload the five STL files separately into your slicing software.
• Center and align each object to ensure a seamless final result.

Slicing Process:

• Begin by deactivating all objects, then activate each STL file one at a time.
• Slice the active file, save the G-code, deactivate the object, and proceed to the next.
• For the first two layers, achieve a height of 0.4 mm, setting 0.2 mm for the first layer and subsequent layers.
• Optionally, implement ironing on the fifth print for a smoother surface.
• If your printer homes and stays near the bed during heating, ensure the objects are positioned away from this point.

File Management:

• Recommended: Save the sliced files on a USB stick for convenience during printing.
• Initiate the printing of the first STL with its corresponding color (e.g., "1_RED.gcode").
• After completing the print, promptly set the pre-heat temperature to prevent cooling of the bed and hotend.

Filament Change:

• While the printer maintains the bed and extruder temperature, perform the filament change.
• Note: The files include a pre-designed skirt, aiding in centering within the slicer and nozzle cleaning.
• Remove the skirt and nozzle cleaning line before printing subsequent objects, as they are reprinted in each iteration.
