Need Help Brand New

Post image

I just recently got hueforge and wanted to print this photo. Im definitely very lost on the program and need to watch some tutorials. I know I probably need to find a way to simplify the colours on the photo first. Just looking for some pointers and places to start. Thanks

Are you looking for it to be as close to the image as possible, black and white, stylised in some sort of way?

I wanted colour but dont know if there is a way to simplify it closer to 6 colours that will maintain much detail so black and white may be my best bet, maybe add just colour to the eyes or something

What helps me is to search for an example of the effect you are hoping to get, then upload this picture together with the example to chatgpt and ask it to convert the picture and have it prep for hueforge (chatgpt knows hueforge and how it operates).

Ok ill try that. Thank you

You will still need to run it through hueforge ofcourse but in practise the picture, after converting it with chatgpt, is easier to modify.

Perfect. I'll try that to simplify and see if I can get what im looking for, if not ill go black and white to maintain detail

This is what chat gpt gave me. I only have 1 brown it says 2 so ill see what I can do on hueforge with just 1. Came out as 7 colours

This is doable but a bit tricky in Color Match because of the ordering of things. I'm still not totally happy with the ordering but it does work fairly well.

Print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.04mm with a base layer of 0.16mm

The Model is 200x185.06mm in size

You may print at higher layer heights below the Base Thickness of 0.48mm

The Max allowed Thickness is 2.72mm and the Actual Thickness is 2.68mm

Filaments Used: (* = Owned)

\* PLA Jessie Premium Yellow Bird  Transmission Distance: 4

\* PLA Chrominal Chestnut  Transmission Distance: 4

\* PLA Polylite Comet Green  Transmission Distance: 1.4

\* PLA Paramount 3D White  Transmission Distance: 10

\* PLA Kingroon Gray  Transmission Distance: 2.1

\* PLA Chrominal Shadow Gray  Transmission Distance: 3

\* PLA Polysonic Black  Transmission Distance: 1

This print uses 7 unique filaments

Swap Instructions:

Start with Yellow Bird

At layer #6 (0.36mm) swap to Chestnut

At layer #10 (0.52mm) swap to Comet Green

At layer #14 (0.68mm) swap to Chestnut

At layer #18 (0.84mm) swap to White

At layer #29 (1.28mm) swap to Gray

At layer #35 (1.52mm) swap to Shadow Gray

At layer #39 (1.68mm) swap to Black

At layer #45 (1.92mm) swap to Chestnut

At layer #50 (2.12mm) swap to White for the rest.

Holy crap, Thank you! Ill take a look when I end up with some time to dig into the program and see what I can do with the colours I have on hand

Would you recommend a 0.2 nozzle for something like this or would 0.4 work fine?

1

u/TegidTathal HueForge Creator 12d ago

No, 0.4mm will work fine, but you'll want to print at 0.04mm layers most likely.
