Designing for multi colour/extrusion – 3D design for 3D printing

Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing: https://www.youtube.com/@ttracingYT

To get the best out of 3D printing, it helps if you can design your own parts. In this tutorial series, we will learn to use a free 3D CAD program to do just that.

In this episode, I demonstrate how to convert logos and other graphics into clean, multi-part models for multi-colour 3D printing. This step by step guide includes converting from jpeg to raster, slicing and printing.
