Notes
Slot 1 orange (plate), slot 2 black (stripes), slot 3 white (text), slot 4 red (crosses). Needs a prime tower and about 11 colour changes, roughly 6 g of purge. If you don't have a multi-colour printer, pause at z = 2.8 mm to swap filaments for each colour.

Good to know

  • The build report still lists a few thin-ledge warnings near the letters. They are the raised letters' own walls, not defects in the plate.
  • The 9-inch plate only fits your 220 mm bed turned 45°, so check the slicer keeps it that way.
  • I haven't test-printed the stripes and crosses. If the stripe tips look weak, raise the Stripe height slider on Adjust.
