Those do look excellent. Was this done with changing the fillaments for the different colors? Looks very tricky to pull off.

On these, the head and wheel were printed in the Enzo red, and the base probably in gray. Then the wheel, hub, and base were painted.

Saved a bunch of time in prep and painting for the horse head, and the color on the horse head is more than skin deep! A true 4 color unit could print the black and white as well. Silver...thats another filament that just doesnt look as good as the paint. There might be a metallic out there that looks right, but not that ive found yet. Im also printing in abs rather than pla which makes those colors harder to find.

Heres a couple examples of using a filament change for multiple colors and different layers

Hey Grey...

Trina's pretty impressed with you for putting up the pic of her painted Horse head knocker..... And calling out her name.  

Nicely done sir.

I recall adding it to my redsquare album recently...did it place it on the storefront too? LOL I probably did.   Credit where credit is due!

Tell her big thanks for all the cool unique items and paint schemes to showcase!

She always challenges my skills!

Somebody's going to be happy.

Just some fine touch up work left and it will be ready for the school play!

Gary the Snail ....start to finish!

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

First attempt at a model of some of the heavy equipment I work on. Has severe warping on one piece, about 1/4 inch. Looking at perhaps switching to a friendlier filament than ABS. PETG is about the same temp parameters with less warping.

Have also noted a spring uptick in original style ornaments currently one or 2 a week along with other styles here n there. Folks are out there gettin all their Horses all prettied up!

Did a print out of PLA...zero warping!

[Tractorhead 9,064]

Looks great !

I love to print PLA because of it‘s extreme less warping.

It is my favorite Material.

I printed also Lamp holder for my KTM in PLA and after give them a thin surface of Clear coat they last also in Summer.

👍
