Print Instructions

- Material: PLA or PETG (two different colors) - Supports: No - Orientation: - Print all the pieces face down Assembly/Instructions

Note: This print employs either a layer swap or the multi-pass printing method (detailed by Make Anything in Multipass Multicolor using Prusa Slicer // Single Extruder Multicolor 3D Printing ). A layer swap simply involves adding a pause to your print and then changing the filament so that the text stands out against the background. Multi-pass printing is slightly more involved, but it can yield phenomenal results.
