How to use it with my Multi color printing technique

It is also ideal to create Multi-color STL files for the Single Extruder color printing technique i wrote about earlier: Link

If you want to print this using a multi color enabled printer, these are the parameters you should adjust:

In the “Advanced Sign Layout” section the Border & Text Height define how high those elements are above the top surface. So by setting these to “0” the sign will have a flat surface , but still contains all the colored elements.

Exporting the STL files for Multi color printing

For “real” Multi-Color printing you need a separate STL file for each color in your print. This SCad file has been created in a way that these can be created quite easily:
The parameter “part” on the top of the parameter list can be set to these values:

“Full Preview or Single Material Printer”
- This option creates a full preview image and can be used if you use a single material printer or the Prusa Color change” method to add filament changes base on layer height
“Base”
- This option will create just the base and this should be rendered / exported as an STL if you plan to use it for a multi-color enabled printer (or my multi color printing method described in another blog post)
“Border”
- This option will create just the border and this should be rendered / exported as an STL if you plan to use it for a multi-color enabled printer (or my multi color printing method described in another blog post)
“Text”
- This option will create just the text and this should be rendered / exported as an STL if you plan to use it for a multi-color enabled printer (or my multi color printing method described in another blog post)
