I kept up with about 40% of that. I need to learn Illustrator because you made some jumps in there that I didn't follow. I want to try this but I'm not sure I can with my limited understanding of Illustrator.
Super cool, thanks again for showing the whole process, really neat ! Question though, why didn’t you use the cutting function of the slice ? Wouldn’t have it been easier ? Just wondering 😊 But again, great work
You seem to have worked out exactly how to export out of AI without any lines breaking or even a scaling issues. Do you mind doing a video on the steps in saving the file and opening it in Tinkercad? I have to assume it would be the same in Fusion, but we have big time problems with files not coming in a the size they've been saved and with broken lines that need to be patched before being able to extrude them.
Hey Macy I tried following along and got stuck where you turned the black lines to white when the background is black. For some reason when I use shape builder it won’t detect the lines as an object. Did you do an extra step not shown in the video? Thanks
"It's going to take 4 hrs to print (an 8"x8" square)".....it's taking me 4 hrs to print a part that has 60 grams of filament in it! Some day I will add an X1C....
@@macymakes3d Once I can figure out a good way to try and sell some stuff on a small scale (necessary due to long print times), and then sell enough to pay for it, I'm getting the X1C and AMS!
You can save a TON of time if you improve your workflow for this type of project. I see people have already recommended slicing it up in Bambu Studio, but the other HUGE thing is not bringing in the colors separately and aligning them in the slicer. Bring them in as a solid block (with the color heights setup in Tinkercad just like you have) and just make a note of what height the color needs to change at. Then, when you slice the file in Bambu Studio, you can drag the slider down in the preview window (the slider all the way to the right, grab the top slider and pull it down). So if the block starts black then switches to white at 2.0mm you just bring the slider down to 2.0mm, right click the slider and choose "Change Filament", then pick the white filament. You can insert multiple color changes this way, back and forth from black to white over and over until the full height is reached. Once all color changes are inserted, simply reslice and send it to the printer.

Very Cool Ideal ! Thanks, for sharing. Happy Printing. I just got my Bambu Labs X1 Carbon two days ago and loving it !
Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing!
A very talented lady. Super art work.
Such an awesome idea and you present it so well. Some great ideas. Many thanks.
That came out really nice.
You know you could have scaled up the first print and cut it into 16 pieces, all in the slicer.
No need to remake every piece from scratch.
I didn’t know this. I guess I need to look into it bc that will save me SO much time
Sorry is this only possible in bamboo slicer or can orca slicer do this.
Fantastic! 🤩
Thank you 😊 and thanks for watching!
You really do a great job.. good luck
That came out awesome, the 3d effect is pretty cool, I got a similar effect when I modelled coaster with repeating squares.
Very cool idea love it!
That's a lot of work, that only we ( 3d printing nerds ) can do :) well done
Thanks! Lots of work but so fun :)
so cool!
Very Nice!
Great Job
Really cool. You should surround that with some of the 3d printed honeycomb storage wall panels.
I second 3M command strips. I use the Velcro ones to hang almost everything

Very cool..
Awesome video as always. You've convinced me to get illustrator. Any recommendations on training videos?
I watched a ton of Satori Graphics videos. There may be better “tutorials” but either way there’s some good illustrator content over there.
Super cool, thanks again for showing the whole process, really neat !
Question though, why didn’t you use the cutting function of the slice ? Wouldn’t have it been easier ? Just wondering 😊
But again, great work
Didn’t even think about it 🤦🏼♀️ I’m definitely going to play around with it now
you can try with the blend option to save some time

I wanted to do something like this with a logo on a HSW project. What action do you use to split the sections up?
I used “divide” in the pathfinder window
Do you think this would be possible to do with a hue forge painting. because i can't see why it wouldn't be the same as the way you made this.
Yes probably! It would be easier to break into parts inside the slicer instead of using illustrator though. I really want to try this now!
Command strips? :)

I'm not sure. Make sure you have everything selected that you want to "shape build" and it should work.

Haha, I forget how fast the bambus are in comparison to others. Thanks for reminding me and keeping me in check lol

I sent you a DM through Facebook but you haven't answered yet I really need some help.
