Multi-Coloured Owl Key Tag

Description

This Is A Key Tag In The Shape Of An Owl That I Made For My Niece. The Interesting Thing Is That I Did Multiple Colour Changes (I Have A Single Extruder/Head). I Printed With 0.2Mm Layer Height. <Br />I Use Octoprint To Manage My Printer So All I Had To Do Was Insert A M0 Just Before The Start Of The New Colour'S First Layer. The Table Below Shows When I Changed. Note That I Don'T Use A Raft So I Didn'T Need To Allow For That. | Height | Before Layer | Changed To Colour | | --------------- | ------------------------- | -------------------------- | | 0Mm | Start | Black | | 3Mm | 16 | Grey | | 3.6Mm | 19 | White | | 4.2Mm | 22 | Red | | 4.8Mm | End | N/A | <Br />I Also Have Some Gcode Scripts In My Octoprint Settings Which Assist In Colour Changes During A "Pause". Here They Are: *After Print Job Is Paused:* ``` {% If Pause_Position.X Is Not None %} ; Relative Xyz And Extrude G91 M83 ; Retract 5 Filament, Move Z Up 5Mm G1 Z+5 E-5 F4500 ; Back To Absolute Xyze M82 G90 ; Move To A Safe Rest Position (X100,Y100), Adjust As Necessary G1 X100 Y100 {% Endif %} ``` *Before Print Job Is Resumed:* ``` G1 E5 F4500 G1 E5 F4500 ; Absolute E M82 ; Absolute Xyz G90 ; Reset E G92 E{{ Pause_Position.E }} ; Move Back To Pause Position Xyz G1 X{{ Pause_Position.X }} Y{{ Pause_Position.Y }} Z{{ Pause_Position.Z }} F4500 ; Reset To Feed Rate Before Pause If Available {% If Pause_Position.F Is Not None %}G1 F{{ Pause_Position.F }}{% Endif %} {% Endif %} ``` <Br />Hope This Was Interesting/Helpful. *I'M Australian, So "Colour" Is The Correct Spelling!*
