I am trying to print this toy for a friend's kiddo and would like to print it in color. I uploaded the image to STL Buddy and had it render a 3D model. I then put it into Blender to make the base flat for easier printing. When I put the .stl into Bambu Studio and try to paint it, I'm NOT able to (fill) paint right up to the edge with the paint, even though I'm using edge detection. I have tried various smart fill angle numbers but it doesn't make a difference. Does the community have any recommendations on how to make the edges crisper, using Blender? I am working my way through the Sculpting tutorials but thought I would check here first. I tried to use the subdivision surface modifier from the Blender in 14 Days module but my computer kept freezing when I tried to increase the levels. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!!

@Newbie Newbie Thanks! I will try this as well. I was worried that it wouldn't look as good in those crease areas. As is, it would take around 11 hours to print and use way more filament than needed.

Hello

So, I have been really exploring prompts and generating them. I have found myself running low on filament and looking for help on finding a new supplier. I have been using primarily Bambu, but they keep running out of the colors I need. Thanks

Unfortunately, I purchase through Amazon. If you are by a Micro Center, you can check there. I really like their brand and they have a lot of different options. As for brands I use (in no particular order): Sunlu, Elegoo, Giantarm, Ziro, Amolen, & Flashforge. There are a few others I use but these are my go to brands. I usually just check out what's on sale and rarely pay more than $20 for a 1Kg spool unless I really need it. If you buy direct, Ziro and Amolen will charge $25+ Hope that helps!
