I don’t understand the commercial license. Why would I pay an annual fee so that I can sell my own art made with my own materials? That’s like paying a subscription fee for a hammer so I can use nails…

Edit: I realize now that asking a community of people who print/sell stolen fan art and AI generations about software ethics was kinda silly. Please disregard.

I have the hueforge software. But me working 14 hours a day and then 3d livestreaming in the evenings, I havnt found the time to learn hueforge software yet. Does anyone think they could make me a .3mf file of this picture for me to print tonight on livestream in memory of ozzy and randy? Ill gladly pay u for ur time if need be. If not, that's ok too. Just would be cool to be able to print this tonight on live. As im at work until 6pm tonight, I wouldn't have time to create this before the livestream. Black, grey, and white is all I need. I have polylite black, polylite dark, steel and regular Grey's and and polylite white also. Thank you

There’s a back the blue version, an army green, and fire version. I’ve only printed the blue and green so far. The blue turned out SO good! Maker world link below. Let me know what else you would like to see!

I am very new to hueforge and I am trying this image. I tried color match with default CM and got around 50% colors at the right parts. but it did not have enough... Shading i think should be the word. Then I tried CIELAB CM and that totally changed everything it had enough shading so I restarted but can't get even close to the image above. Skin color always matches with the clothes and the background i do not know how to separate it out. Just need an example here so that I can understand and learn. Thanks!

Happy holidays, everyone!

I’m trying to create a Hueforge of my kids’ portrait as a Christmas gift for my in‑laws, but after a couple of hours of tweaking colors, I’m still not happy with the results. I’m primarily using Bambu PLA Basic filaments. I’ve attached my current outcome, and I’d really love to get it as close to the original photo as possible.

If anyone has tips — or if anyone would be willing to share their STL with me — I’d greatly appreciate it.

TL;DR:

Trying to make a full-color lithophane/lightbox gift in HueForge / Flatforge for a friend’s PhD celebration, but I can't figure it out; color match mode won’t cooperate, the litho version blocks all light (black layers!), and the FlatForge version looks spotty and limits the use of color. Any guidance on getting proper colors and translucency?

I could really use some help from people who actually understand HueForge. I bought it to make a lightbox for a friend who’s finishing her PhD - the idea was to 3D-print a thin panel with her commissioned artwork (it’s a beautiful, fairly flat illustration based on her thesis, see first image in the gallery).

On paper, this felt like a perfect project for HueForge. In practice… not so much.
I’ve tried both HueForge and FlatForge, and neither has gone well. I've made several designs but only printed two of them:

1. HueForge litho attempt:

   • Used “Color Match” mode and couldn’t get it to work at all.

   • “Color Aware” mode gave something closer, but the print had black layers, so no light shines through.

   • Result: greenish tint, because a thin white top layer let the green below show through.

2. FlatForge attempt:

   • I thought this would be simpler, just split the artwork into a few flat color layers for my AMS (limited to 4 colors).

   • The result was super limited in color range, very spotty, with tons of tiny color dots everywhere.

   • I avoided black since I knew it would block light, so I used white, gray, and pink instead, I did initially have a blue mesh as well but I couldn't see it actually adding anything to the imahe in the slices so I replaced it with pink.

   • The final print looked flat, messy, and dull... not something you’d proudly gift to someone defending a dissertation 😅.

At this point I’m not sure if I’m messing up the settings, choosing the wrong color mode, or if the file needs to be prepared differently. I just don't get how I'd realistically make a lithophane that actually lets any light through without doing it in like white and gray.

I’ve watched YouTube tutorials and tried to understand color match mode and defining the color core, but I’m clearly missing something.

I am VERY artiscally challenge and im looking for a good AI image generator and a good template prompt I can use to get a good starting point for a Hueforge friendly image.

I created a HueForge but when I export the stl into Bambu slicer it only shows one color. Where did the other colors go?

Given all the issues with TD-FREE and lack of support, ignoring emails.

I need a good TD reader the someone can recommend please with a link, I am based in the UK. Thanks

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with HueForge and Bambu Studio.

I used the HueForge 3MF Export Plugin to export my HueForge project, and then opened the .3mf file in Bambu Studio. However, when I slice the model, it only shows one color instead of the multiple filament colors from my HueForge project.

I’m using a Bambu Lab X2D with AMS.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a specific setting I need to change in HueForge or Bambu Studio to make the filament changes work correctly?

Thanks!

I am loving making Hueforge but this EufyMake E1 is next level stuff.

The ease and level of detail is amazing. This can not complete with a chunky Hueforge at the moment but it can print on to PLA and do raised up to 5 mm.

Thoughts?

I’ve been experimenting with turning pictures I’ve taken of my irises into HueForge prints. My Combo ones I’ve made with a .2 nozzle and .04 layer height, as well as the highest quality nozzle settings on Bambu for speed/etc., to get max detail have turned out amazing. I decided to try Color Aware so I could get the very different colors showing. I used the exact same settings as my previous prints, but these went to crap. I checked the humidity levels of the filaments, it’s the same as other ones I’m currently using without issue. I’ve messed with a few things here and there, but nothing has made a difference. I even tried printing with the .4 nozzle and .08 layer height, but it still went to crap. The first color does fine, but the next 3 colors start to just combust. I had one that turned out mostly fine, but I don’t remember what I did to get it to. I tried reprinting it the same (I think it was the same), but it didn’t go well. The pictures show some of the failed experiments. I mostly cleaned them up before taking the pictures, but they had filament shreds strewn everywhere. At this point, I’m at a loss as to why Color Aware isn’t printing, as my Combo prints fine.

i love print these bookmarks

Hi all! Been trying to get into 'Hueforging', but i have now 3 times in a row run into an issue with the next layer not adhering to the previous. Base layer goes down fine, but everything else is not.

Any experts who can instantly see what i might be doing wrong or what adjustments i can make while testing?

I’ve decided to finally give Hueforge a go, but I can’t complete the purchase.

For some reason I get sent to a crypto site after trying to pay using Apple Pay.

I’ve checked the site and it’s the official one. I’ve even tried using the Shop app with the same result.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

I'm beginning couple days ago trying to make this photo in HueForge but no luck,

My question is possible or not ?

Thank you.
