Just downloaded this amazing creation but I have questions..the snail is 5 colours..I only have 4, how do I work around this. The snail files has a u1 .3mf but the plain shell is not in there like in the other .3mf is there a reason for that?
Hey! The easiest way is simply to skip the pink inside of the mouth and use the body color there instead. The more complicated option is to map the pink color to one of the other colors that only appears higher up in the print, so there’s no overlap. For example, let’s say you have 4 colors loaded in the printer: black, white, the body color, and blue for the eyes. We don’t have a free slot for pink. So what you can do is assign the pink parts in the slicer to white, black, or blue - just not the body color. Then add a pause just above the part where the inside of the mouth finishes printing. At the beginning, load these 4 colors into the printer: black, blue, body color, and - important - pink instead of white. Once the pink mouth is finished and the printer pauses, swap the spool - remove the pink and replace it with white. Then the printer can continue and print the white parts of the eyes later :) I know it sounds a bit complicated, but I’ve done this before. Not on the U1 specifically, but on my Bambu printers, and it works :) And yes, I exceptionally added a U1 profile for the shell because I think this shell is absolutely perfect for the U1. The regular shell can even be printed straight from the STL ;)
What color did you use for the dirt?
Plz check filament list all info should be there :)
