Coasting Along

My early Christmas present has been in use 136 of the 264 hours (11 days) I’ve owned it!

In that time the Bambu Labs A1 Combo 3D printer ,including a couple that ran overnight.

Of course, I’ve taken pictures of most of them!

But now I want to share my most recent prints, a set of coasters with a particularly engaging pattern. The design is courtesy of The Broken Circle.

Plus, somewhat like watercolors, the layering of the different colors of filaments produces a variety of shades. The red and blue are opaque, but the gold and yellow are more translucent.

Where the yellow is printed over blue or black, it turns a shade of green. Blue over yellow is blue.

Similarly for this one, the gold over black turned green, and the gold over red turned into a more intense gold. Again, red is red.
