Good morning…
Merry Christmas
Does anyone know if when making a light box, instead of changing the color from layer to layer, you can first make the color white with the 0.6mm color and then go to the second color and finish.
This way I would avoid making several color changes in a piece with three colors. Is there any way to do this?
I’m not sure whether you mean to print several layers of white, and then raise the bed and print other color(s) (which would be risky, I guess), or if you mean the colors will shine through… or something else?
I think I have seen the slicer doing obvious optimizations such as keeping the last color used in the previous layer, for using first in the current layer.

I wanted to do the white first up to 0.6mm, then the yellow up to 0.6mm and finally the black up to 30mm in height, so I did three color changes.
As the program says, it always changes the color 0.2mm by 0.2mm, thus making 10 color changes and more wasted material.
Did you notice?
Thanks
I can’t help but think you’d have horrible layer connectivity in doing this, and likely have all colors separating apart. I understand the thought as to why, but the negligible amount of filament loss and even time difference from that small amount of filament changes wouldn’t be worth the sacrifice in quality.

I’m asking if it was possible because in artillery they did one color at a time… but if that’s how it works in this program, that’s not a problem. I just wanted to know if there was a possibility of avoiding so many color changes.
