Multi color print becomes one color after slicing

It is usually the order one the objects in the merged object.

If you have three objects, one a main shape and two foreground objects, drag the background object t the top of the three objects, any below will have priority over those above it.

This only causes issues when the objects overlap the same physical space, it is the order which determines which colour is used when sliced.

Example:

  1. Red cylinder with a 25mm diameter and 1mm thick centred against #2

  2. Black cylinder with a 50mm diameter and 1mm thick centred against #3

  3. White 100mm diameter cylinder a 2mm thick coaster

When listed in the merged group they should be ordered as follows:

  • White
  • Black
  • Red

If left as described above, the white object would be only visible one.
