About this model
<p>Have you ever looked at a flat part of a ColorMix print and think that the lines look a bit like wood? Of course you have!</p><p>These models are meant to resemble wood grain texture when printed using ColorMix. Whereas in wood the texture results from curved layers and a straight plank surface, here we have straight layers and a curved plank surface.

(It takes a bit of tinkering to get it to look good, but it is reasonably doable)</p><p></p><p>No supports or brim are needed, but the choice of filaments is a bit tricky (as you can see in the pics) - they need to be different enough to make the lines visible but similar enough to look realistic. In the pictures I used the following combinations:</p><ul><li><p>75% Prusament Woodfill Pastel Brown, 25% Prusament Woodfill Chocolate Brown</p></li><li><p>70% Prusament Woodfill Chocolate Brown, 30% Prusament rPLA Wine</p></li><li><p>65% Prusament rPLA Wine, 35%…
