What a day! It has been the best day regarding #TdFree sales: 14 on one day. New record!

With one of them being the first to go to Africa, to be more precise, South Africa! I'm now only missing South America until I shipped to all continents.

I never imagined this taking off like this. And more/new products are in the works...

Here's a gift I made. It took a few weekends to layout, modify the source art, test, print, fail, print, fail, print, fail, and finally print and succeed. The image is Alice in Wonderland Disney Classic Collection #8.

The background was made with HueForge. Unfortunately not open source, but reasonably priced and functions well. Alice herself I redrew in vector, then separated by color. Printing was in 4 layers.

Playing around with #HueForge. Really neat tool, but one thing is annoying: Basically of the documentation is in YouTube videos. I just spent half an hour trying to find out how to configure my slicer profile for my #Prusa MK4S - lots of people referring to specific settings in Bambu slicer that are apparently called different names in PrusaSlicer - and no one appears to have set up a slicer profile for the MK4S and shared it online (at least not that I could find).

I set up layer height 0.08 and first layer height 0.16, infill 100% aligned rectilinear, 1 perimeter. Those are the ones that I see in all tutorials, and they are obviously needed. However, people on Discord are also discussing things like 3 top layers and 999 bottom layers, which I understood to mean the "Horizontal Shells => Solid Layers” settings. Am I missing anything else or misunderstanding something? Or does anyone by any chance have a well-tested slicer profile for the MK4S that they could share?

Hueforge is amazing. I don't know how I was unaware of it until now.

This is just some random model off MakerWorld printed in the wrong filaments. It still looks like nothing I've ever printed before. Close up, it reminds me of an oil painting -- daubs of pigment with not much relation to the big picture. (Error diffusion always looks like that, just that in this case it really is daubs of pigment.)
