I made a magsafe mount in black for my Kia and I didn't like the layer lines on the curved parts, but it gave me the idea to try using wood
I have a 3D Chameleon MMU so I added color changes randomly throughout between two shades of brown. One is wood, one is PLA.
It honestly came out way better than I even expected!
If anyone wants the STL I can provide it!
How much purge for something like this?
I'll check the slicer again but it was really small. Most of the purge went into infill instead. Maybe like 5 grams?
I had my purge values low to encourage blending of the colors. I might try using 0 for purge volumes next time to encourage more natural blending.
What slicer is it ? I will check if it is possible to set no purge at all in BambuStudio - since I have an AMS lite.
It looks feasible with a purge multiplier set to 0. https://forum.bambulab.com/t/setting-an-unbeatable-record-no-flush-at-all/51052/4

It's pretty similar to bambu
purge tower was pretty hollow
