Cool vid. Definitely gunna try this.

Thank you. If you have any questions I'll try to assist

[@BluDog35]

Unfortunately, this method does not work for me. I'm still messing with it, but I followed everything step by step and it does not work.

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

I probably should have asked a few questions first. 😉 Logo to part. How thick is the logo piece? How thick is the part? Is the logo curved? Is the part curved? Is this a vertical (bleh) or horizontal placement?.(yay!) any an all details are helpful if you can share it.

[@BluDog35]

@@ashleys3dprintshop So I make custom button boxes for sim racing games. Some people want their names, numbers, team logos etc. I'm testing with an SVG of someone's logo I converted to an STL and placing it on a rectangle I generated and sized using the "add primitive" feature. At first I tried the logo a few mm thick as well as the rectangle. Then I tried the logo 0.4 mm thick and the rectangle 2mm thick. Nothing worked, and I tried a few more variations of that to no avail. Thank you for being so willing to help!

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

@@BluDog35 No worries, here to assist if I can. If you have the file as an SVG already you should not need convert it to stl. You can import an svg which gives you a ton of options. Especially in painting. Adding it to a part can be straight forward from there. You may need to center it, place logo in position, highlight all parts, right click assemble. You can still move parts in objects process at any point, before or after assembly but if you miss click the whole model gets selected vs the part you want to manipulate. I hate to throw a bunch of homework at you vs a straight solution so I'll give you some of my vids that cover it. I try to keep things under 20min.

Alternative Method Bambu Studio Intermediate Tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGivY5KIad94jqs The last video may be good because it shows some fixes if a part's color does not show up, placement, move tool, layers etc. if 0.4mm .6 or more may be needed depending on the number of color swaps or if there is a stark color change. (black/white) Also that vid I sent earlier for "flush 4" example helps if you need to move the part priority.

[@amberjackson9167]

Are you using at .4 or .2 to print that ?

Great video!

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Thank you very much.

[@CGreciful]

Fantastic. My sister own's a wine company, I'm going to try printing a wine glass with her logo on it.

[@CGreciful]

Hmmm... Curving the logo is going to be challenging. Maybe if I can make the logo into a height modifier I can do it.

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Sounds great! So I have been looking into curving images and sorta have a solution. I have found outlines of an image/ logo work well. Full images do not work well from what I found.

[@mitsuracer87]

My 3 year old discovered that if you click on a part/parts, you can change the color by pressing the number key associated with the color in the filament bar on the left. A bit faster than the right clicking/change filament I was doing previously.

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

😁 you're absolutely right. There's a bunch of shortcuts that you can use, like T for text, F for lay on face, m for move etc. I like the fact that you are involving your child in the slicing process. You're creating great memories. Cheers to the youngin' 😁

[@mitsuracer87]

@ashleys3dprintshop right? I just bought the book " Mastering Fusion360" and on the first page I already learned a whole bunch of shortcuts that I could have been using for years haha.

Could you possibly show how to wrap a logo across an uneven surface like the side of a bowl? Or a plate that is concave? I tried messing around with it a bunch and I can’t quite get it to lay flush with the object. Text works out fine, but not an imported logo.

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

I haven't missed your comment. I have been testing a few ways to do it and may have a couple ideas to flesh out first. Here is an example kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGXPaGiKa8-fn6M

[@trevorreinke6845]

Cannot for the life of me get the to work. Watched the video about 5 times now. Trying to print a NAPA auto parts logo and every svg i try to import always seems to be butchered in the slicer, making it into a thousand parts and impossible to paint.

[@Butrdtostngravy]

I'm not seeing Assemble in the mouse menu but merge instead. There IS an assemble menu up by the paint area. Did they add more features to assemble then rename what YOU used to Merge? Trying to get a restaurant logo on the Mouse kit. Also do you know if there's a way to put stuff on a curved surface without hurting the original object. Aka i want to put the logo on the mouse without effecting the shape of the mouse

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Hello. The latest version of the slicer calls what used to be "assemble", "merge". There is another assemble which does a completely different thing so it can be ignore for this purpose. So in short use right click, MERGE not Assemble. As for the curving a logo there is a way to do it. I recommend using an SVG file I have a few videos showing the steps with modifier or mesh boolean.

Nice, but not working for me, i have inserted my logo, put on object, but after slicing I have just one colour 😞The logo is like disapearing in the other part

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Sorry about the late reply. There can be a few reasons why a logo may not show up 1 there isnt enough layers to show up But the big one for most folks is the order of the parts Here is a quick video about it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWTHiZ-Ad56jmJI If you have any questions please reach back out.

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Ideally I would flip the item, add the part and use the "move tool" (m key) to position it kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGivY5KIad94jqs Also there have been some updates for adding text that could help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqmpgpmPn5KVl68

[@user-nj7dv6sp6m]

Great Vid! learned a lot. Can you embed a logo like that into the side of a vertical object? Thanks

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Yes. The angle does not matter much. But if you are printing logs with it can be punishing on the AMS, filament usage and print times. Each color change adds about 90-120 seconds with every change. If you have 2 changes per layer its almost 4-5 min per layer. It adds up fast. Ideally I would make the the prints colors horizontal but nothing is stopping you from making it vertical.

[@heatherbabyy2011]

Hi, I've added a logo to a lid very similar to what you did in the video. The model shows everything I've painted is correct but during printing the white lettering didn't print. Do you have any suggestions on what to do to fix this? I also got an error message stating "Unable to print multiple filaments which have large temperature differences together." I'm using a blue, black, and white. Only one white letter printed.

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Hello. There can be a few reasons but lets start with the simplest one first. Switch over to Process Global , quality, wall generator: Arachne Another simple thing to try is this. Convert the text type to modifier then repaint kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWTHiZ-Ad56jmJI If there arent enough layers slightly more advanced kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGivY5KIad94jqs As for the temp issue you will need to change the filament type to the same brand.(there are other more complicated ways but we can keep it simple. For example if you are printing with PLA set all of the filaments to "bambu PLA basic" you can keep your colors the same. I may revisit the assembly video as there have been many advancements since then.

[@rexmorgan72]

Is there a way to created embedded text of a different color? It seems as though when I add text to an object and then change the depth to something like 3.00mm and the thickness to 2.00mm I can then change the filament. However, as soon as I create the negative part the color disappears. What am I doing wrong here?

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Hello, thank you for your question. I think I might have a solution for you. Go to this video about 8 minutes 45 seconds in it covers some more text techniques kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqmpgpmPn5KVl68si=HMcxJhL01newvTKL

[@bryanreiger9050]

Thanks so much for this, I have a challenge for you that I am trying to figure out myself (if at all possible). Do you think you can wrap an image around a cylindrical .STL file? Or do they all have to be flat for the image to work?

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Challenge accepted！Lol Interestingly enough have been thinking about this for a bit. So there is a way to add some images to a curved surface. However there is a huge caveat. Full images will not work, or at least I have not found a way to do it. However, line art/outline of an image may work.

@@aaronscalise7682 How "thick" in the z axis is your text/image? I recommend at least 2 layers worth. So at a .2mm layer height then the text should be at least .4mm high.

Having a challenge with this on the text/name portion. Printing a logo in orange and teal and that portion is perfect, colors pop. Below it I have a name in orange also and in a larger font/size than the logo. But the name portion of the print almost comes of “hazy/faded”. Almost as if I’m getting a black layer somewhere that should be orange. Any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong?

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

There are a few ways to look at this. You can repaint the text,(which I will assume you have tried) you could also increase the layer size for just the text. So if your text was .1mm you can try to increase the z height to .2 or .4mm.(turn off uniform scale) This will push the text above "flush" you can use the "move" tool to push back down.
