The files in your kit
| File | Use it when |
|---|---|
| design-color.3mf | You have an AMS, MMU, toolchanger or any multi-material setup |
| design-single-color.stl | You print in one color, or swap filament by layer height |
| parts/*.stl | Your slicer wants each color as its own STL (load them together so they stay lined up) |
| PRINT-GUIDE.txt | You want the exact sizes and filament-change heights for this design |
Print at 100% scale. Chain openings and wall thickness are sized in real millimeters.
Multi-color printers
Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer
- Open the .3mf file. If the slicer asks whether to load it as a single object with multiple parts, choose Yes.
- If the parts arrive as separate objects, select them all, right-click and choose Assemble.
- Assign a filament to each part in the object list, then slice.
PrusaSlicer
- Import the STLs from the parts folder all at once. When asked to load them as a single object with multiple parts, choose Yes.
- Set an extruder for each part.
Cura
Load the part STLs, assign each to an extruder, select them all and use Merge models so they keep their positions.
Single-nozzle color swaps
Hype chain pendants are built as stacked flat layers — backing, pop outline, then lettering. That means you can get a multi-color pendant on any printer by pausing for a filament change at each layer height.
- Slice the single-color STL at 0.2 mm layers.
- Add a filament change at the first layer above the backing height, and again above the pop-outline height. Your kit's PRINT-GUIDE.txt lists the exact heights.
Trays work the same way for raised artwork, though everything above the floor height — including the walls — switches color.
Recommended settings
| Setting | Trinket tray | Hype chain pendant |
|---|---|---|
| Layer height | 0.2 mm | 0.2 mm · 0.12 mm for small text |
| Walls | 3 | 3–4 (4 for strong loops) |
| Infill | 15% | 20% |
| Supports | None | None |
| Orientation | Floor on the bed, as exported | Flat, backing on the bed, as exported |
| Nice extra | Ironing on the floor surface | Textured PEI plate for a matte back |
Artwork tips
- PNGs with a transparent background trace the cleanest. The studio uses the transparency as the shape.
- For JPGs, the studio keeps everything darker than the Threshold setting. Raise it to include lighter colors, or use Invert for light art on a dark background.
- Bold, filled shapes print best. Thin lines under about 1 mm and tiny specks are hard to print — raise Clean up to remove them.
- Uploaded artwork prints as one color. For multi-color logos, use the hype chain's pop-outline layer for a second color.
