Making Flat Multicolor 3D Prints

Prints Charming walks viewers through how they make these flat stained glass inspired 3D prints of Pokémon in this YouTube video:

If you’ve ever wanted to create detailed 3D prints with lots of colors but felt limited by the number of filament slots or toolheads available on your printer, I’ll walk you through the process I use to bring these designs to life. I’ll cover how I prepare the artwork, set up the colors, get the file ready for printing, and turn a digital image into a finished stained-glass-style 3D print.

Cheers to Prints CHarming for sharing their technique!

The magic lies with WLED, a free, open-source LED animation program that runs over WiFi. Control your LED matrix with your smart phone or web browser, and watch your creation dance.
