Catan Desert Tile - Single Nozzle, Multi-color Layers

Dakanzla is da' man with his awesome multicolor printed design. Unfortunately, I only have a single nozzle printer and I cannot paint with a damn, but I still wanted some artistic oomph to my set. I really didn’t like the monotone sets out there (very creative, but color wise not so much). So, I redesigned the tiles a bit so that the printer can take advantage of the color swapping technique at different levels.

Here is Chuck Hellebuyck talking about how to get Multi-Color 3D Print in CURA 3 on ENDER 3 (I also use this method on my PRUSA).

For some of the effects, I have printed extra pieces off and glue them. However, I try my best to let the printer do the work.

The desert was just a copy of some water tile, mixed with the dead cattle skull.
