Easy in PrusaSlicer, just create a cylinder and set the dimensions. The right click on the cylinder and add Modifier and select SVG. Set the modifier thickness to go all the way through the cylinder and then select a different color on the right side drop down for the modifier. I did a whole custom fidget cube design for my son’s graduating class just using PrusaSlicer.
Oh that sounds easy. Thank you!
I have used the online convertors until I figured out that I can use the software I have for my laser engraver to convert JPEG to SVG. Lightburn will let you import a Jpeg and export a SVG. I trace the image first and then export the outline. It is good to have multiple ways to do it. I import the SVG into Tinkercad - just as you did. i also use Word to create text and use a screen capture program to export to a JPEG. This gives you so many more fonts and text options.
This was a game changer once I figured it out when I got Lightburn and a laser. Easy peasy for the money and Lightburn Is such a value for the money!
This is the way!
@@adayco I found it works much better than the online converters and it is local
Oh that does sound handy. Thank you!
If you load both models at the same time, slicer will ask if you want them to be two parts of the same model. Click YES! Then you can flip it and spin it however you want and they will both stay aligned. If they don't start aligned, that's OK, too. Just click the part of the model you want to move in the list over on the right side of Prusa Slicer (not sure about how Bambu does it), and then move that part relative to the other one.
Thanks so much!
That is very cool. Your surface finish on the MK4 is much better than mine. I get a lot of transfer from the PEI sheet to the first layer. You can see outlines of my previous projects. Your signs turned out great.
I feel like it's hit and miss on the first layer. I try and keep one build plate nice for things like this. Thanks so much!
You are totally correct adapting both parts in the 3d construction software to avoid conflicting paths in the slicer, so being independent of the slicer. However, as I use Prusa Slicer (and derivates) only, I prefer just doing the logo itself.
Prusa Slicer does a very nice job if you combine multiple objects into one, so no need to modify the base object yourself if inserting another to add text or logos. The big advantage of not modifying the base object is you can actually use the logo as a pure modifyer.
For example I added my logo on the first layer of an object just modifying the pattern and not the colour. Esp. if printing PETG, you can see the path quite nicely. For example a hilbert curve infill for the bottom, but with text as a modifyer changing this to concentric. This look astonishing black on black - ready to go visting Disaster Area´s show space ship.
Actually I also change perimeters on first layer to 1 (or even zero) and combine gcode to print the rest with more perimeters.
Oh that sounds really cool. Thank you!
you can merge(group) the two in tinker cad then import them into the slicer as one file
Thank you!
Funny that I am right now converting a image to SVG. I started with a logo on a beer box, which I only had a picture of. I then converted it to black and white, with some retouching. Then converted it to svg online. Then imported the official logo on top in Inkscape, but kept the text the was unique to the beer box.
Inkscape can do the outline tracing itself without an online conversion to svg. Just import the image then right click on it.
I'll have to check it out. Thanks!
Try bringing both files into the slicer at the same time. It will come up and ask if you want to make a multi-material print (click yes)
Thank you!
Converting a jpg to an SVG using the open source, free software, "Inkscape" is very effective, and the whole program is great for creating graphics. No adds, no internet access needed, once downloaded of course.
Thanks so much!
I use inkscape to convert to svg and depending on the project I will bring that into Fusion or inkscape.
Thank you!
Thanks thats really useful and in the comments as well. I did wonder if doing the image/text sitting on top of the base stops any/most of the waste ! I haven’t tried doing this yet. Laurie. NZ.
Since each layer is just one color change back and forth, I think this helps the waste. Thanks!
On the smooth sheet? I really like the textured sheets for these kind of prints.
You're right, that would look nice. Thanks!
I didn’t see a speed comparison
To be completely honest, such a simple logo should "start its life" as a vector graphic, and is a very poor candidate for being a JPEG image at any point. If you don't have a vector original, I'd say redraw it as a vector so you have a vector original of the logo.
Thanks!
