Image requirements PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, or BMP · Maximum file size: 5 MiB. After upload, ImageForge automatically recommends the print size, printer bed, puzzle grid, and 4–8 filament colors. All settings remain editable.

Settings

Export layered-color artwork as a complete panel or include the puzzle cutter in one Bambu Studio project.

PLA optical stack

2–8 official or custom filaments, ordered bottom to top.

The first match chooses 4–8 colors automatically. Afterwards, use − and ＋ to recalculate the complete optical stack with fewer or more colors.

Layer stack20 layers

Drag a numbered handle to change each filament's printed layers.

Preview is approximate. Adjust coverage layers to match a test print.

Dithering mixes nearby colors using nozzle-safe 0.6 mm cells. Light is recommended; turn it off for small text and hard-edged graphics.
