Lucky Charms! Press play (left corner to see how it works)

St Patrick's Day is right around the corner, and I thought arming yourself with clovers and horseshoes may bring some luck...why not! 🤣

I couldn't decide on one design, so I made 4.

3 spinners, and one 3 leaf shamrock.

* The green PLA is Printbed, but I'm not going to share the gold stuff because the adhesion is blah, but looks great for the print.

Looking forward to seeing some fun "Lucky Charms" soon. -Dan

Love these spinners where might I find then to print

So I started making one and it was so goofy. Not totally abandoning the idea, though. I may bring it around next year :)

Dan

Any idea on when this may release? :)

I asked for a shamrock guy too. Came in last on the Feb 5th poll. :(

Any way to get these with the FF on the back so you get promoted with these? Love them. Since they print out under 10gm I use these as a bonus for customers and would love that you are getting credit on the tags

I've been asked about a shamrock guy for St. Patricks day like the Heart for Valentines day. Would be awesome.

I came here in hopes to read just this.. thank you, thank you, thank you! Look forward to it.

Ron M Davis

I like that idea.

Can’t wait!

OHHH, great!!! It would be great to make a rose for Mothers day! LOVE ALL OF YOUR IDEAS!

Ooh that's a good idea!

I got it to work this afternoon. Basically split the knobs off of the clover and made holes to mate. I plan to super glue but the fit is tight enough you don't HAVE to glue it. I can shoot you the files if you like (although I'm sure your solution will be better ;))

I bet if one were to split it into two prints, one for the clover with pegs, and one for the horseshoe or other part, and then paused and dropped the clover inside at the right layer timing, it'd be possible to have the green clover brass horseshoe on a single color printer! Might ruin the point of single piece print in place perhaps, but I think it might work if done carefully!

I'm working on a way to make the vars detachable and will update you as soon as possible. So folks with single extruder can still print with two colors!

I have 2 Shark Dual Color. I use Prusasclicer and imported the printer profile uploaded on the Lotmaxx Facebook page. (https://www.facebook.com/groups/lotmaxxofficial/files/files) Called DeeKays profile. This will allow you to color your prints without having to have two files and then merge them. I hope this helps.

Unfortunately my Kobra is a single color extruder (but I've got a solid process to do color swaps). Best I can do is extract the clover from the horseshoe or circle and then modify the model to print completely separate and attach later.

The posts are built in to print as one piece for sturdiness. I always design print-in-place and no supports as my business model. But I keep getting lots of requests to start piece mailing stuff. So I will likely start introducing some variations of things moving forward. Baby steps, haha.

I just replied in another post and maybe this will help you too? Trying to find a work around to splitting the file into two or more stls. That is very time consuming unfortunately. "I noticed that Cura does allow you to add printers and many of them are already on there. So once your printer is loaded, using the mesh tools will allow you to split into pieces. Using shift and select, you can group several and assign to one or more extruders by right clicking the mouse and selecting. It can also be sliced in Cura assuming your machine is loaded. Let me know how it goes. Really hoping we can get the designs functional on all types of multi-color machines :)"

I did make a similar suggestion to a couple folks. I noticed that Cura does allow you to add printers and many of them are already on there. So once your printer is loaded, using the mesh tools will allow you to split into pieces. Using shift and select, you can group several and assign to one or more extruders by right clicking the mouse and selecting. It can also be sliced in Cura assuming your machine is loaded. Let me know how it goes. Really hoping we can get the designs functional on all types of multi-color machines :)

I think I found a way to make this work for folks who don't have a Bambu and want separate colors for the horseshoe and clover. I split the model in Cura using Mesh tools, imported the clover into Tinkercad and split that piece into three: the clover with holes and two pegs. I'll try printing it tonight to see how easy it is to assemble (will require superglue the way I've got it designed)

Hey there again Dan. This is Bret I just recently bought a shark dual color single extruder printer. I'm working my way up to the bamboo. But my question is is there any way to get the bases of the print? I need to have two identical prints but with the parts edited that I need different colors so I can merge them together. Do you have any advice for me? Maybe how would I edit a print to get just the pieces I need different colors?

hay way you can make a file that alows you to glue in the posts so thows of us with single extruders can print in 2 colors ....i mostly make these for my kids class and painting them all is just not in the time budget

are they single or dual color prints

Made some for my mom and her Bingo friends they love them.
