Printing

[a]_main_body.stl

Print in your accent color of choice. Darker colors do a better job of preventing the light from bleeding through, using a high infill percentage can also help.

This part is already oriented correctly for printing and requires no slicer supports.

Main Body Slicer

After printing remove the support piece.

Step 1 - Adding the text

Engrave the text 1mm into the surface of the part. Orca Slicer is shown below, but the process should be similar in other slicers.

The recommended font is Play Bold (aka "The Voron Font")

Insert Step 1-1

Insert Step 1-2

Insert Step 1-3

Step 2 - Preparing to print

This is where the magic happens. You'll need a black/dark filament, and a clear filament that will stick to eachother. I used black and clear polymaker PETG.

Flip the part over 180 degrees.

Insert Step 2-1

Slicer Settings

For best results:

  • 1 perimeter
  • 0 top & bottom laters
  • 100% Aligned Rectilinear infill

Slice the part, and insert a pause after 1mm, this is where you will switch from dark to clear filament.

Insert Step 2-2

Assembly

Press the Insert into the Main Body, and then press the collar in the gap.

Assembly Step 1

Solder the LED wiring, and insert the LED strip, followed by the back plate.

Assembly Step 2

Installation

Install on the front bed extrusion of your Voron Trident, or anywhere else you think it would look cool.
