💡 How I Handle Multi-Color Prints (and Why It Matters)

I almost always create my multi-color files by separating each part in CAD, rather than exporting a single solid body with a logo painted on later.

This approach has a few big advantages, but the most important one is print quality. Clean part separation gives sharper edges, more consistent color boundaries, and better overall results — it’s one of the ways I try to elevate my designs beyond the basics.

Because of this, you don’t change colors using the paint tool in the slicer.

Instead, open the Objects list in your slicer. You’ll see that each part (logo, text, base, etc.) is its own object, and each one already has a color assigned. To customize your print, just change the colors there.

🔥 Pro Tip

Project filaments are numbered.
Click an object in the list, then press the number key on your keyboard that corresponds to the filament color you want — the part will instantly switch to that color.

Fast, clean, and no painting required :)
