About this 3D model

ARTHUR: I command you as King of the Britons to stand aside! BLACK KNIGHT: I move for no man. ARTHUR: So be it! [hah] [parry thrust] [ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's left arm off] ARTHUR: Now stand aside, worthy adversary. BLACK KNIGHT: 'Tis but a scratch. ARTHUR: A scratch? Your arm's off! BLACK KNIGHT: No, it isn't. ARTHUR: Well, what's that then? BLACK KNIGHT: I've had worse. ARTHUR: You liar! BLACK KNIGHT: Come on you pansy! [hah] [parry thrust] [ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's right arm off] ARTHUR: Victory is mine! [kneeling] We thank thee Lord, that in thy merc- [the Black Knight kicks Arthur in the head] BLACK KNIGHT: Come on then. ARTHUR: What? BLACK KNIGHT: Have at you! ARTHUR: You are indeed brave, Sir knight, but the fight is mine. BLACK KNIGHT: Oh, had enough, eh? ARTHUR: Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left. BLACK KNIGHT: Yes I have. ARTHUR: Look! BLACK KNIGHT: Just a flesh wound. [bang] ARTHUR: Look, stop that. BLACK KNIGHT: Chicken! Chicken! ARTHUR: Look, I'll have your leg. Right! [cuts his leg] BLACK KNIGHT: Right, I'll do you for that! ARTHUR: You'll what? BLACK KNIGHT: Come 'ere! ARTHUR: What are you going to do, bleed on me? BLACK KNIGHT: I'm invincible! ARTHUR: You're a loony. BLACK KNIGHT: The Black Knight always triumphs! Have at you! Come on then. [whop] [ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's other leg off] BLACK KNIGHT: All right; we'll call it a draw. ARTHUR: Come, Patsy. BLACK KNIGHT: Oh, oh, I see, running away then. You yellow bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you. I'll bite your legs off! How do I make this thing?! Easy! Just follow these general steps, and you'll be lighting up your life in no time. Pay attention, as there will be a quiz later. Download the model to your computer or open it in the Handy app. I suggest downloading it and opening it so you can remove the purge line (Google is your friend here). I also strongly suggest using the included profile, as it contains many little tweaks to prevent problems that are common with these types of lamps (gaps, wisps, separation, etc.) Confirm whether you have enough AMS's to handle all of the colors. I do my best to keep my lamps to 4 colors or less, but sometimes that's just not possible, and a second AMS will be needed. Alternatively, you can build in pauses and conduct manual filament swaps, but you'll need to research how to do that on your own, because I'm not good at that. Ensure your filament colors are in the correct AMS slots that corresponds to the model. Hint: I generally arrange my colors in alphabetical order, because I'm weird like that. Just be cautious of wildcards like "light blue". All of my models come with two different back plates. One will have a hole for those of you that want to hang the lamp on a wall. The other will not have a hole, and that's intended for those of you who will be placing the lamp on a desk or a table or a cat. You do NOT need to print both back plates (or do, I don't care, I'm not your mother). Pick whichever one you want. Some lamps will also come with a base. This is to keep your lamp from tipping over like a drunk toddler if you're placing it on a flat surface. If you're hanging it on a wall, you don't need the base. I strongly recommend using a textured PEI plate, as that will do an excellent job in hiding the print lines, and that's what these prints are tweaked for. But you can use whatever fancy plate you want -- again, I'm not your mom. Once you've got your AMS set up and are ready to go, hit that big ol' PRINT button for the lamp face and then your back plate. I suggest disabling Flow Calibration. Go make a sandwich. You should now have the lamp face and your back plate of choice, and it's assembly time! This first step is optional, but I would suggest picking up aluminum (or aluminium for some reason if you're British) foil tape. Yes, it comes in tape form! Line the inner side of the back plate with the sticky stuff, as it will help tremendously in making your light brighter and with a more even and consistent light. I personally tear off small strips, apply, and then flatten/smooth it out with the edge of a credit card, and repeat until the entire side is shiny silver. Next you're going to want to buy yourself some LEDs. The options here are many and varied, and I can't decide for you (see mom comment above). Decide what types of light you want. Do you want basic white light? Great! Do you want cool white or warm white? Do you want it to flash or dance to the music? Do you want a switch? Do you want a remote? Do you want it to be USB or higher voltage? Have you changed your mind and want it to be multi-colored or able to change color to the seasons or your mood? What I can do is make some suggestions. First, there are several kinds of LEDs that are typically used in these types of lamps. The first is a basic LED strip, which is a roll of circuit board tape with a sticky back-end. These are the simplest and easiest to use. Next is what's called a C
