Heat Gear Shift Box
Please support Friedmutant by Liking/Boosting their Print on Printables.
A redesign of LDub's Gear Shift Box for Heat .
Notable changes from the original:
• Designed for mutli-material printing rather than color changing layers.
• That makes this version flat on top and less filament volume.
• No supports required for printing on either piece.
• A small lip on the bottom for registering against the player dashboards.
##
Use 0.4 nozzle and 0.2 layers. For the multi-part lid, use a 0.3 mm starting layer and 0.2 after that.
Define five extruders and assign each one a color. I went with gray, black, white, light blue, and red.
The top panel model file is a multi-part 3mf so you can easily assign a nozzle/color to the parts as desired.
For the bottom part, there is nothing special about printing it, but if you differ too much from a 0.4 nozzle / 0.2 layers, the fit with the lid might suffer.
