Greetings friends, welcome to my post once again I am Nitsu and today I want to share some tests I have been doing a few weeks ago with my 3D printers to put them in context usually when you finish a roll of 1kilo of filament you never get to use 100% of the roll as there are small leftovers of some meters sometimes I use them to make small parts or tests but anyway over the years I have accumulated enough and instead of throwing them away I was storing them until I found some use for them.
Saludos amigos, bienvenidos a mi post una vez m谩s soy Nitsu y hoy quiero compartir unas pruebas que he estado haciendo hace algunas semanas con mis impresoras 3D para ponerlos en contexto generalmente cuando se termina un rollo de 1 kilo de filamento nunca se llega a usar el 100% del rollo ya que hay peque帽os sobrantes de algunos metros a veces los utilizo para hacer piezas peque帽as o pruebas pero de todas formas a lo largo de los a帽os se me han acumulado bastantes y en vez de tirarlos los estuve almacenando hasta encontrarles alg煤n uso.
Some friends recommended me to use the spiralize function, this function of the cure is focused to make vases and what it does is that when one places the STL in this program and activates the function spiralizes the figure, which means that it will print the piece with a continuous flow without retractions in short it will print in spiral form, so I took my box of leftover filament I took my time to remove the moisture so I would not have problems when using old filaments and began to separate them by colors.
Unos amigos me recomendaron utilizar la funci贸n espiralizar, esta funci贸n del cura esta enfocada para hacer jarrones y lo que hace es que cuando uno coloca el STL en este programa y activa la funci贸n espiraliza la figura, lo que significa que imprimir谩 la pieza con un flujo continuo sin retracciones en resumen imprimir谩 en forma de espiral, as铆 que tome mi caja de sobrantes de filamento me tome mi tiempo para sacarles la humedad as铆 no tendr铆a problemas a la hora de usar filamentos viejos y comenc茅 a separarlos por colores.

Then I went to my PC and I spent some time looking for some STL files focused to use this spiralized function and after making a selection I sent the first test files. The idea apart from this function was to use different colors and filament leftovers to print the pieces once it was finished I would pause the printing to change the color and I also wanted to control the areas where the colors would be and choose colors that would combine to have more interesting results.

Posteriormente fui a mi PC y estuve un rato buscando algunos archivos STL enfocados para utilizar esta funci贸n de espiralizado y tras hacer una selecci贸n mand茅 los primeros archivos de prueba. La idea aparte de esta funci贸n era utilizar diferentes colores y restos de filamento para imprimir las piezas una vez se fuera terminando pausaria la impresi贸n para cambiar el color a su vez tambi茅n quer铆a controlar un poco las zonas donde quedar铆an los colores y elegir colores que combinaran para tener resultados m谩s interesantes.

My first tests were quick, simple and conservative pieces, I wanted to test the ground to see if what I had devised worked and the truth is that I was more than satisfied with the first results. What would I use these pieces for? I really had no idea, but I preferred to do this rather than discard material, maybe I could give them away or find some use for them in my home.
Mis primeras pruebas fueron piezas r谩pidas, sencillas y conservadoras quer铆a testear el terreno para ver si lo que hab铆a ideado funcionaba y la verdad me quede m谩s que conforme con los primeros resultados 驴Para qu茅 usar铆a estas piezas? La verdad no ten铆a ni idea, pero prefer铆a hacer esto antes que descartar material, tal vez pueda regalarlos o encontrarles alg煤n uso en mi hogar.
Later on, I started to make pieces with more complex and interesting geometries, you can find free pieces on the internet very interesting to make with this function although the only bad thing about having to pause the machine and change material is that this will require us to be constantly attentive to not finish the material because if it ends we will lose the piece added to that in this case to print with a direct system the filament will be stuck inside the gears which will lead us to have to disassemble the extruder to remove the rest stuck and to print again Why do I mention this? Well because it has happened to me, after being doing other things in my case I forgot to see the filament and it caused a blockage in the machine, luckily the piece was just starting so I did not lose much material or printing time, but it was annoying to have to disassemble the machine to fix it.
Posteriormente empec茅 a animarme a realizar piezas con geometr铆as m谩s complejas e interesantes, se pueden encontrar piezas gratuitas en internet muy interesantes para realizar con esta funci贸n aunque lo 煤nico malo de tener que pausar la maquina y cambiar de material es que esto nos requerir谩 estar constantemente atentos a que no se termine el material ya que si se termina perderemos la pieza sumado a que en este caso a imprimir con un sistema directo el filamento quedara atorado dentro de los engranajes lo cual nos llevara tener que desarmar el extrusor para sacar el resto trabado y poder volver a imprimir 驴Por qu茅 menciono esto? Pues porque me ha sucedido, tras estar haciendo otras cosas en mi caso olvide ver el filamento y me provoco una obstrucci贸n en la m谩quina, por suerte la pieza reci茅n estaba empezando as铆 que no perd铆 tanto material ni tiempo de impresi贸n, pero si fue molesto tener que desarmar la m谩quina para solucionarlo.

Then I left a little aside the vases and geometric containers to try color combinations in sculptures. Why? Well because I liked the idea of leaving the typical sculptures with marble material and see them with colors, so with some gold and silver material I made this small bust of Adonis where I highlighted everything that is his head with gold material, in my opinion it was excellent and on the other hand I tried to make vertical black and white stripes on the bust of David, I like the result, but I think it would be more appreciated if these stripes sectioned the figure, but in profile.
Luego deje un poco de lado los jarrones y contenedores geom茅tricos para probar combinaciones de colores en esculturas 驴Por qu茅? Pues porque me gustaba la idea de salir de las t铆picas esculturas con material m谩rmol y verlas con colores, as铆 que con un poco de material dorado y plateado hice este peque帽o busto de Adonis donde resalte todo lo que es su cabeza con material dorado, en mi opini贸n quedo excelente y por otro lado intente realizar franjas verticalmente de color blanco y negro en el busto del David, el resultado me gusta, pero creo que se apreciar铆a m谩s si estas franjas seccionaran a la figura, pero de perfil.

I used quite a lot of material for these tests, but I still have a lot of colors left over to continue making things, although I haven't had the time to dedicate to it as I would like, so later on I hope to try new things that have occurred to me. What did you think of this little post of experimentation with colors, configurations and figures? I'll read you here in the comments
Use bastante material para estas pruebas, pero todav铆a me sobran un mont贸n de colores para seguir haciendo cosas, aunque no he tenido el tiempo para dedic谩rselo como me gustar铆a, as铆 que m谩s adelante espero poder probarlas cosas nuevas que se me han ocurrido 驴Qu茅 les ha parecido este peque帽o post de experimentaci贸n con colores, configuraciones y figuras? Los leo aqu铆 en los comentarios
