SpectroSpectrum – Full Spectrum Chaos Tiny Ghosts

Meet SpectroSpectrum, a tiny ghost that went completely out of control in Full Spectrum mode. 

This project comes with a print profile that spawns 23 little specters at once, each in a different color combination, all generated from just 4 filaments in the AMS: white, yellow, blue, and red (but you can select yours..) 

I used Full Spectrum to create gradients from one color to another, 50/50 mixes of two colors, and even 30/70 blends  and some gradient. By playing with these percentages I ended up with a whole army of unique ghosts in all kinds of wild shades, from smooth pastel transitions to strong, saturated splits.

This print is strongly recommended only for printers with toolchanging or multi-nozzle systems. Technically you can run it on a single-nozzle machine with filament changing, but I really do not suggest it: I printed it that way just to test the new Full Spectrum workflow and turned 500 g of filament into waste for around 50 g of actual ghosts. The result looks amazing, but the sacrifice was real.

Because I burned through so much yellow, I actually ran out about 10 hours before the end of the job and had to swap it with green. On some ghosts you can clearly see a hard transition where the color changes mid-gradient – it is a fun “happy accident”, but keep it in mind if you want perfectly smooth results.

If you want the same effect, use four contrasting solid colors in your AMS, enable Full Spectrum, and let the profile handle gradients and mixes for you. 

These little ghosts are small, fast to print per piece, and they look insane in person when you line up all 23 on top of your monitor or around your setup.

But if you print with a single nozzle.. be ready to wait they for like 28 hours..

Notes for printing

• Designed for Full Spectrum / multi-color printing with 4 filaments (white, yellow, blue, red).
• Best on toolchangers / multi-nozzle / multi-material printers.
• Single-nozzle printing is possible but extremely wasteful due to constant purging.

• Expect significant purge towers / waste if you try this on non–toolchanger systems.
