Hi - Is there a 3mf of a completed wheelchair fully assembled? Want to plan out a color strategy for a build and would like to see the individual pieces when they are colored how the finished product will look assembled.

There is a step file of the completed chair 3D TMT PUBLIC FILES - Google Drive

I looked before and just checked again. I donât see it, unless I am totally missing where it is on the Drive. I donât see it in the STEP folder or other folders.
Forgive me because I am sure I am just missing it, but I donât see a step file for the complete chair, just all the individual pieces. Can you point me to a file name?
ive added âTMT Top Assembly - RENDERING ONLYâ to this folder - STEP FILES - Google Drive
Note its not 100% updated - its missing the headrest and push handle, and some other minor parts. This is from an earlier version. Thats why I added ârendering onlyâ so people know never to print from this file.

Thank you that should help. The OP had a great idea with this. Hopefully soon you can put the current complete file in there. Then we have the option to send renderings before we start printing.
I would love to stand up some sort of online configurator at some point

That would be awesome! Are there any plans for an app for the dashboard?
not plans just yet, but something we are thinking about

Thank you for adding this!!! It was nice to be able to render it out before we get too far into printing.

I opened the step file in Bambu studio. I had to split it into parts and then just set the filament color I wanted for each part. It took a little while but now I have it saved and should be faster next time.

@NWCC Thank you so much!!!
@MakeGood_Noam Another suggestion is to use the âAssemblyâ view feature of the 3mf files

I assembled it with the push handle, and if anybody wants the file to save some time, you can download it (not perfect): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aWAa0BR2ptqJjP9WDcEdoAtaZukrV0Ei/view?usp=sharing
Does anybody know why the coloration of some parts such as 3DTMT D2 STORAGE RIGHT is off? They have the same filament selected in this screengrab.

@KitsWorkingHands You are amazing, thank you. I started doing the same thing yesterday, but then I realized how tedious it was. I was planning to finish it this weekend when I donât have a work day

I donât think you need to build a whole new system for this. Bambu/Orca already has something that should do what youâre looking for. Check out Assembly View, they even have a setup guide, and it should work with Orca Slicer too.
Once itâs configured, a printer can assign colors to the parts across all the plates and then jump into Assembly View to preview how everything will look together, similar to the STEP file that was uploaded.
no need for seperate 3mf files just for color, no need for a website

Thatâs great, thank you very much, @KitsWorkingHands .
Just in case someone gets lost on how to use it (as I did), Iâm sharing here it here:
- change the colors from the materials with the ones you have or are considering to use;
- open the Object/part settings;
- then you change each part to use the material/color in this new window
You can also do it straight from the âobjectsâ panel, as pointed in the image below:
