## 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.

After printing remove the support piece.

### [oc]_insert.stl

#### 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](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Play) (aka "The Voron Font")

#### 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.**

**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.
