Found this while browsing #3Dprinting on Mastodon. This person used Hue Forge to slice up some floor tiles and add some color. Amazing print and good use of the app.

(hue forge is an app that helps you plan filament swaps to progressively add color, kinda like screen printing but for filament printing)

    Wow. I admit: multicolor prints kind of make me angry with some kind of irrational insecure jealousy.

    The funny part is that I don’t really ever find myself wanting multi-color prints, I just hate that they look so good and I can’t do them.

    But these are admittedly cool.

      Watch some videos on hueforge. The layers are different colors so you can pause and manually change filament for each color.

      I feel the same. I have a hard enough time justifying the printers I have, let alone spending to get multi colour support

        You might as well tell me to whittle this out of birch and paint it.

        I didn’t get into this hobby to do things like “swapping filaments”. 🤮 (kidding)
