Are you in Australia looking to buy a great filament set for 3D printing high - detail images? This Polymaker HueForge Colour Set Filament is perfect for filament painting. Filament painting involves printing thin layers (usually 0.08mm layer height) of different colors to create various shades and paint an image. For example, if you print a thin red layer on a black base, you'll get a dark red, and adding more red layers makes it closer to the red filament color. HueForge is a software by Steve that converts images to STL files for this process. It allows you to set parameters like colors and print thickness and previews the output using the filament's Transmission Distance. Note that this bundle doesn't include the HueForge software, which you can buy separately from shop.thehueforge.com. You don't need an MMU/AMS to do filament painting. Most single - nozzle 3D printers can handle it, but you'll need to manually change filaments. Before buying, ensure your printer can accept 1.75mm diameter filaments, can unload and load filaments mid - print, and your slicer can generate 'pause at layer height' commands. The HueForge STL file needs n - 1 color changes (n is the number of colors in your painting). Accessories like Prusa MMU or Bambu Lab AMS can automate filament changes. Transmission Distance is the thickness of material (in mm) that dims light to a point where adding more thickness doesn't stop much more light. For example, PolyTerra PLA Charcoal Black needs a 0.3mm thick wall to block most light. This set includes 1kg each of PolyLite PLA Natural, Lemon Yellow, Azure Blue, and Red filaments. Also, check out other Polymaker filaments like ASA, ABS, Nylon, and more.
Using this Polymaker HueForge Colour Set Filament is easy. First, if you're using the HueForge software, convert your desired image to an STL file. Set your preferred colors, print thickness, and other parameters in the software. It'll preview the output based on the filament's Transmission Distance. When it comes to printing, if you don't have an MMU/AMS, be ready to manually change the filament. Make sure your 3D printer can accept 1.75mm diameter filaments, unload and load them mid - print, and your slicer can create 'pause at layer height' commands. Remember, the bundle doesn't include the HueForge software, so you'll need to buy it separately from shop.thehueforge.com. As for maintenance, keep the filaments in a dry and cool place to prevent them from absorbing moisture. This will ensure good printing quality. And always follow the safety guidelines of your 3D printer during the printing process.
