TIE Fighter in Flight

Here's another beautiful (if I may say so myself) HueForge Hybrid print for you!

I used Burnt Titanium for the 'space blue' and it turned out magnificently, but you can use whatever you feel like, honestly! Same goes for the material for the TIE Fighter. I just wanted to try out the Metal PLA that Bambu sent me :) An AMS is not needed for this, however will make it easier. If you do not have an AMS, just manually swap out the filament spools at the right layer (adding a pause in the slicer where you would change colours)

This print takes 3 hours on the Bambu Lab P1P and is completely printed in place, without supports. If you are using a Bambu printer or Bambu studio, the 3MF will have all the necessary settings you need. If not, please download the STL and follow the instructions below!
