🚀 Exclusive Multi-Material Profile (H2D & H2C)
For owners of the new Bambu Lab H2D and H2C, I have uploaded a specialized print profile that takes full advantage of your machine's
capabilities:
Dual-Color Canopy: This profile includes a pre-configured dual-color canopy for a stunning, realistic look straight off the build plate with zero waste.
🖨️ Printing Recommendations
- Orientation: Use the provided orientation in the print profile to ensure the smoothest surface finish.
- Material Tip: For that classic "Natural Metal" look, I highly recommend PLA Silk (Silver). It provides a sleek finish that makes layer lines virtually disappear.
⚠️ Assembly & Handling
- Assembly: Use a small amount of Superglue for a permanent bond.
- Pro Tip: Before gluing the roundel decals, gently bend them with your thumb to match the curvature of the fuselage for a perfect fit
