How to Colour your Models - No Painting Required
Welcome new members! Here is a video tutorial demonstrating how to load your models into Bambu Slicer as a multi-STL file. The video will also guide you on allocating filament to each STL, enabling automatic coloring of your model.
Please note that the filenames of the STLs indicate which parts should be printed together. These models are designed for printing on an AMS or similar system, not for printing each color separately. We hope you find this helpful.

so no 3mf files ok
Would it be possible to supply 3mf files in future as many designers do that and it makes it simple to print no need to mess about with any settings, forgive me if this is too difficult or time consuming for you?
The reason I don’t provide 3mf files is that not everyone of the members has Bambu printers and also how I set up the files to be printed on my printers may not the same way other people like to print theres there are just so many variables and everyone likes different settings sorry
also used tree supports but had horrid brim I couldn't remove the bottom looks a mess. Did you change settings for layer height as mine could be smoother.
No I just use the standard settings in mine with no issue
it doesn't work for me I'm just getting 2 parts spiderduck beak orange 2 and outside, I can change colour of spiderduck only was same for batman I just coloured it myself but spiderduck bit more complex
Hi you need to download the multicolour files not the single colour ones which it sounds like you re using
This was very helpful. I Actually didn't know I could load multiple files into 1 object. thank you!
Glad it helped :)
Looking at the BatDuck and following your instructions for painting, it seems like the beak is to be painted orange, and then the three body parts are painted black, and grey. and yellow. what about the beak needing support? When I paint other ducks the beak has always needed support. I am using Bambu Studio and a Bambu X1C printer with one AMS.
Yes it will need support I would use tree supports
If you look at the file names of the models you will see what needs to be printed together i.e head / body etc then you just need to allocate the filament there is no need for any painting on the models
This is helpful. What would be even more helpful is a tutorial with a more complex, multi-plate model (for example, Buster from the Jul 24 collection). I’ve been printing now for almost two years and I thought I’d become pretty good at slicing and coloring, but many of your models have me stumped as to how they should be best printed.
