Feels good to be back! Was on an out of state hiatus, and I missed my machines quite a bit! Got back and sat down to do this 30 step process to get this little guy to come out! It started out as a sketch, so the colors didn't work well for the color separation program. I ended up opening Gimp and manually separating each color into it's own layer and contrasting it on a grayscale value from black to white to get a bit more easy process of prepping the image for the 3d print.

This guy took around 2 maybe 3 hours, but has many problems. If you look closely, the black layer is see though. I'm attempting to get these to come out as quickly as possible as machine time is precious, but I'm afraid the high speeds I'm running these at causes under-extrusion on the lines printed categorized as (Top, bottom, and infill) so I definitely have some tuning to do, but, I'm happy that these are coming out better and better!
