Are you in Australia and eager to buy the Polymaker HueForge Fire Bundle? This filament pack is perfect for HueForge filament painting, a 3D - printing technique that creates high - detail images. It works by printing thin layers (usually 0.08mm layer height) of different colors. The key idea is to blend these thin layers to create various shades. For example, printing a thin red layer over a black one gives a dark red color, and adding more red layers makes it closer to the filament's red. By printing different parts with different layer counts, you can paint an image. HueForge software, created by Steve, converts images to STL files for this process. It lets you customize with parameters like colors and print thickness and previews the output using the filament's transmission distance. Note: this bundle doesn't include the HueForge software, which can be bought from shop.thehueforge.com. You don't need an MMU/AMS for filament painting. It can be done on most single - nozzle 3D printers, but you'll need to manually change the filament. Before buying, ensure your printer can handle 1.75mm diameter filaments, allows mid - print loading and unloading, and your slicer can generate 'pause at layer height' commands. The HueForge STL requires 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 needed to dim light significantly. For PolyTerra PLA Charcoal Black, it's 0.3mm. It's not about completely stopping light but dimming it enough. HueForge uses this to calculate print previews and generate blended colors. The bundle includes 1kg each of PolyTerra PLA Charcoal Black, PolyLite PLA White, PolyLite PLA Red, PolyLite PLA Lemon Yellow, and PolyLite PLA Orange. Also, you can explore other Polymaker filaments like ASA, ABS, Nylon, PC, PETG, PLA, PVA, Silk, SLA Resin, Speciality, and TPU.
Using the Polymaker HueForge Fire Set Filament is a fun way to create detailed 3D - printed images. First, make sure your 3D printer can accept 1.75mm diameter filaments and allows mid - print loading and unloading. If you don't have an MMU/AMS, you'll need to change the filament manually when the slicer pauses at the specified layer height. Download the HueForge software from shop.thehueforge.com separately. Use it to convert your desired image to an STL file. You can customize the colors, print thickness, and other parameters. The software will preview the output based on the filament's transmission distance. When printing, pay attention to the layer - height pauses and change the filament as needed. For example, if you're using the Photo Color Set model, expect 3 filament swaps. After use, store the filaments in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect print quality. If you notice any clogging in the printer nozzle, you may need to clean it following your printer's maintenance guide. Enjoy creating beautiful 3D - printed images with this filament set!
