Julia Vase #002 - Yin Yang
Description
Update August 25th, I have replaced all bi-color files with new ones, where the origin is at the bottom center of the objects to accommodate BfB software.
Nearly the same basic shape as: thingiverse.com/thing:28123
But this version includes a vertex coloring texture based on the original fractal phase.
I have updated and uploaded two versions:
One for full color printers (PLY)
One for dual extrusion printer (ZIP with separate STL files)
Part of the Julia Vase collection:
thingiverse.com/virtox/collections/julia-vase
Instructions
The PLY version is for full color printers.
It has smooth blending from white to black and vice versa.
I don't suppose many have access to z-corp color printers at home, but their full color material is well suited for this version.
That material is not very waterproof without coating, so suitable only for decorative and dry flowers.
If needed you can convert the file to VRML using Meshlab.
(Vert - Color should be ticked on save)
You can get an optimized 2mm thick version in Full Color Sandstone here:
i.materialise.com/gallery/julia-vase-002-yin-yang
The ZIP version is for dual extruder printers.
It has sharp edges between the colors and contains four STL files:
- Original clean shape (no borders between color parts)
- White part
- Black part
- White and Black parts merged into a single file (with borders between color parts)
As I do not know how the dual extrusion 3d printer software wants it,
I figure some combination should work :-)
I uploaded the separate black and white files just for the cool renderengine on site. All needed STL's are in the zip.

Man, I have not been having any luck with this thing. the filament jammed on one of my extruders, nearly carbonized, and produced the pointy disaster in the picture. cleared up the mess, and am printing again.
Looks like a couple of others beat me to the build! Axon2 likes the new files. I'll try building tonight.
I haven'theard any thing from BfB, but I have a guess as to the problem. I opened your models in Autodesk 123D, and I noticed the the origin is at the center of the vase, (in the doughnut hole). When loading a single model, Axxon 2 typically ignores the origin of the model, 'finds the bottom' and aligns it flat on the printing plate. It fails on the combined model for some reason.
Can you rebuild the three STL files with the origin at the bottom of the vase? that might get around the bug.
(I attempted to do this in Autodesk 123D, but I'm still too much the newbie with that tool.)
No joy, on my side. Axon 2 (the BfB software for generating GCODE) has a bug loading this model. I've submitted a ticket.. Anyone else can pick up the ball?
for the BfB touch, I need 3 STL files; color1, color2, and combined. they should all have the same origin. I combined a model (2 color earth) with Autocad 123D. It' s pretty easy, but I don't have much spare time at the moment. (My son and his friends are complaining that our Minecraft server hasn't been upgraded to 1.3.1...)
put up the STL files, and I'll load black and white ABS in my printer, and see how it come out.
BTW, I tried printing the gyro cube, (http://www.thingiverse.com/thi... Total train wreck! some part broke off in the middle of the print, and I had a giant Brillo pad in the morning. I'll put the picture up there for other's schadenfreude.

With the new Axon3 software it seems to print very nicely:
