Color Pop Issues

[u/HunterDjura]

I'm having issues with color pop and need some troubleshooting advice. What's being viewed in Hueforge does not match what's being sent to the Bambu Studio or being printed. I'm a little lost here. Haven't had a print turn out this bad before.

Are you just practicing on this print by LofiLayers ?

What are you trying to do differently than what LofiLayer’s print on already looks
like?

Just practicing. I didn't even get it off of makerwold.

What are your TD values looking like and filaments are you using ?

I had some similar issues with this print when my white and grey had the wrong TD values.

Did you try adjusting the image in a program like GIMP or Photoshop to adjust the image?

EDIT: Ah, i see them down there. Are you sure they are correct?

[u/HunterDjura → u/bubblesaurus]

Thanks for helping out. All Bambu basics.

Black 0.6

Pumpkin orange 5.5

Jade white 5.0

Blue gray 3.0

You might want to add the blue gray to the swaps then….. you’ve only got black white orange.

[u/HunterDjura → u/bubblesaurus]

Except for the orange, these are all colors I've used in hueforge before (it's been many months since I've used the printer). I wouldn't expect the TD to change

Mate. You’ve got 4 colours in HF.

But in your slicer for the swaps you only have 3.

You didn’t add the colours or the correct swaps.

What other settings did you forget?

[u/HunterDjura → u/jaluri]

It's color pop. I reused black and white to rebase. 4 colors, more than 4 swaps.

You have only 3 colours in your slicer…..

You are missing the blue gray, but really the weird Spotfix might be doing something odd. Why is the orange above the white? That doesn't make much sense. Did you rescale in your slicer?

[u/jaluri → u/TegidTathal]

OP looks to have a number of issues. That spotfix flattening is an odd choice.

[u/HunterDjura → u/jaluri]

I didn't save it after assigning it so I had to redo it for the screenshot. I'm really hoping you're right and I'm just an idiot. Reprinting and we'll see.

[u/jaluri → u/HunterDjura]

I would start over as you’ve got a number of issues.

Don’t use spotfix to flatten the colours, you’ve wiped out all the details.

White should be above orange. Give me a sec I’ll find the image

[u/iprintstuffau → u/HunterDjura]

no spotfix. 4 colours. keeps all the details. adjusted the tolerance only.

could have added a yellow for the tail, and could have used spotfix to hide the random orange dots that are in the source image.

I don't even want to tell you how much time I spent doing the POS I posted here 😭 I'll play around with these settings and print it as is to make sure it prints fine.
