Back then we 3D printed the funny signs and fridge magnets and used Prusa Research in a browser application. We also used a color-changing method with a single extruder to get the results.

We would recommend to 3D print the objects with 1-2 color changes first. Good luck! It may seem an easy task to 3D print such an object, but it is not if there are 5-6 color changes. When 3D printer is paused for the color change, be patient and check to make sure is the color change was successful. Before generating a G-Code, make sure that the color changes in the slicer preview are the same as in Tinkercad preview. It perfectly applies all layer changes needed. PrusaSlicer has a special feature for such tasks and it is awesome. Small amount of layers will save you a lot of time. Two layers are enough even from black to white transition. Then change color every 2 layers (0.4 mm). We recommend to have 3 first layers as a base (0.6 mm in heights) to make sure that the bed adhesion works. If you like to 3D print the first layer 150% (0.3), it should be taken into consideration. A special attention should be paid to the thickness of the object. Approx 100m x 170m objects worked well for us. So the “visual communication sending” can be achieved without a problem in a 3D model. Another Tinkercads bonus is the easiness of applying color to the objects. In two cases, we used the Scribble tool to computer-draw an idea without the need of drawing it using a pencil and paper.

How to Graphic Design with Your 3D Printer Graphic design is the process of visual communication and problem-solving through the use of typography, photography, iconography and illustration. There is a 5 min read in Wikipeedia about the graphics design, but in the 1st sentence it says it all: Vectors, produced traditionally, by graphic design, felt a little bit cold, and in some cases, don’t “pass the message” as graphic design demands it.

They were made just to provide something original as we didn’t have a cover image, and we never use stock images on our website. Recently, we tested this idea and produced at least three 3D printed thumbnails for our blogs. But do we need so called “3D Printed Thumbnails”? There is no doubt that 3D printed logos and icons are in demand. Just to be clear, there is no such thing as a “3D Printed Thumbnail” and this concept doesn’t have its own name, yet. And yes, there is a lot of 3D printable signs, icons, emojis, available on the file repository websites. We guess it is a new trend and it needs to be started to get things right.

When we type “3D Printed Icon” into the search, we don’t see the images of 3D printed icons (in plastic or resin) – but tons of traditionally graphic designed icons featuring 3D printers! It doesn’t make sense. Here is where the Google search engine gets it wrong.
