Creating Multi-Colour prints from FreeCAD

I need to work on the letter sequencing…

I’ve been working on the self-solving wordsearch for a while now. Today I’ve been creating two different models for the case, one is the white outer case and the other is the black letter grid. I managed to print out a small test piece and I’m quite happy with how things turned out. The idea is that I put lights behind the letters and you can watch the answers appear.

This is the back of the text. There are some bad bits, but they don’t really show

The design is built using Python in FreeCAD which made it very easy to create and align the two models. Next step is to make the full size (16x16) wordsearch and then print it out, which might take a while. Great fun.
