Thanks for the kind words guys!
Love the artwork and your nomenclature for the circuit. How'd you print the faceplate? Separate prints or do you have a dual extruder?
Neither actually. I have an Ender 3, so nothing to fancy. There is a feature in Acura called pause at height (under modify g-code). Tell it what level to pause at (by checking the preview) and to keep the nozzle warm while it’s paused and you can just switch out the filament for a different color.
It takes a little practice and usually there is a noticeable artifact when it starts printing again (look at the e in tone), but it’s a very cool effect.
I usually aim for a three layer base and three layers with the color, depending on how much there is.
You also need to push all the excess of the first color out before you start the print again.
Sharp, very cool art work! How are you attaching it to the enclosure?

I just use the nuts from the switch and pots to hold it in place. I’d find a better solution but since these are just for me I’m not worried about it.
As far as the artwork, I actually found it on thingiverse, which is a cool resource for open source 3d printer designs.
The Trident in the middle is a national symbol for Ukraine btw, and the design is very similar to a lot of their folk art.
Okay i can see now, hadn't realized it was a faceplate, thought the yellow parts were attached directly to the enclosure. Very nicely done!
Aside... last night bought an 'olden' camera lens from someone in the Ukraine.
