Tutorial: Printing multiple colors on a single layer

• Edit 14/06/2019 : Uploaded 2nd version of Tuto for users of PrusaSlicer 2.0
• Edit 25/06/2019 : Uploaded new versions of both tutorials which clarify a potential problem

This is a Write-Up I have made to explain how to print multiple colors on a single layer without MMU . This works great for Texts on bottom layer of parts for example .

I have included my Write-Up in PDF format and two simple designs

• 0.4mm thin smiley with color change on every layer
• 5.8mm thick smiley with color changes on the bottom and top two layers

Disclaimer : This Write-Up has been based on Slic3R Prusa Edition v1.41 and tested on a Prusa i3 MK2.5 . The procedure should work on every printer that supports the M600 command for color changes , but of course everything you do is at your own risk :)

Feel free to contact me if anything is unclear im my write-up, everything makes sense to me , but of course, I have written it :)

Here you will find

4 STL files :    - 2 for the thin Smiley    - 2 for the thick smiley2 AMF files , which always contain all parts and MY working settings.Two versions of the Write-Up in PDF format .....  - Version 1_1 is to be used if you use older versions of Slicer or Slicer PE - Version 2_1 is to be used if you use PrusaSlicer (v2.0 or above) 

**WARNING !!! The AMF files were made in Slic3r Prusa Edition v1.41.0 and contain MY printer settings, they work for me , but you may have to change or adapt .... It is probably best to use your settings !!

Feel free to contact me here or in the "Prusa i3 Bear Upgrade" Facebook Group if you are unsure or have question , it's always better to ask a question then messing things up whilst doing Trial and Error :)

Have Fun !
