I made a magsafe mount in black for my Kia and I didn't like the layer lines on the curved parts, but it gave me the idea to try using wood
I have a 3D Chameleon MMU so I added color changes randomly throughout between two shades of brown. One is wood, one is PLA.
It honestly came out way better than I even expected!
If anyone wants the STL I can provide it!
How much purge for something like this?
purge tower was pretty hollow
I'll check the slicer again but it was really small. Most of the purge went into infill instead. Maybe like 5 grams?
I had my purge values low to encourage blending of the colors. I might try using 0 for purge volumes next time to encourage more natural blending.
What slicer is it ? I will check if it is possible to set no purge at all in BambuStudio - since I have an AMS lite.
It looks feasible with a purge multiplier set to 0. https://forum.bambulab.com/t/setting-an-unbeatable-record-no-flush-at-all/51052/4
