I made a magsafe mount in black for my Kia and I didn’t like the layer lines on the curved parts, but it gave me the idea to try using wood

I have a 3D Chameleon MMU so I added color changes randomly throughout between two shades of brown. One is wood, one is PLA.

It honestly came out way better than I even expected!

If anyone wants the STL I can provide it!

That’d a cool idea and it looks really good. I’ll have to try this for myself!

How much purge for something like this?

I’ll check the slicer again but it was really small. Most of the purge went into infill instead. Maybe like 5 grams?

I had my purge values low to encourage blending of the colors. I might try using 0 for purge volumes next time to encourage more natural blending.

What slicer is it ? I will check if it is possible to set no purge at all in BambuStudio - since I have an AMS lite.

It looks feasible with a purge multiplier set to 0. https://forum.bambulab.com/t/setting-an-unbeatable-record-no-flush-at-all/51052/4

That’s beautiful and extremely creative. I should fix my printer.

Do you think printing without purge would make it look better? Or would it just blend into an medium brown

I think better, if there was always a little bit of leftover filament the pattern will be more random I think. With more gradual gradients
