Wait, it’s springtime, and he’s making Egyptian puns, must be time for the passover name tags. So now that I have the Prusa XL 5-tool, making multicolor prints is a thing, so my wife said it had to be some sort of egyptian thing. Now we’ve already done the great pyramid cutaway ones, so I remembered the bust of Nefertiti. I did the filament painting in Prusaslicer and used all 5 colors. All told each one took 8 hours with 423 tool changes, although the waste is pretty small since unlike the filament switching printers it only needs a small priming strip. The names on her headband are done in prusaslicer. yes I could have done them in Fusion 360 with the Emboss tool, but honestly this was way, way faster, and this took a good long while!

Great work! I have more than 4 questions on this, but I will hold them. Prusa XL - jealous!

We would also have accepted “Is this some kind of bust?”
Nice job, and I’m glad to hear the XL is holding up well with all of that printing time and thousands of tool changes. I’m thinking of upgrading my 2-tool to 5 eventually (they have the kit available now), but a rare pragmatic voice in the back of my head is saying maybe I should actually use the capabilities it has before adding more features I haven’t demonstrated I need.
