In Tinkercad i have been tryi g to print a dice wither letters on it. In tinkercad i can i can load a dice and insert all the letters in black on six sides. When i open Bambu lab and open the file all the letters have gone white and i cannot print if dice and letters are the same.
So back to the beginning, i create a dice in Tinkercad and exported to Bambu Lab, added the letter to all six side and them black. Sent it to the slicer and expected a lot, maybe 200 colour changes but it says only 4.
I look at the model and the letters on the 4 verticle sides are not going to be printed.
Have only been doing this 2 months. What can i try?
Thanks for your support.
To support multi-colour, you typically need to be able to export as a 3MF file, which TinkerCad does not support. However, it does support .obj file exporting, which will download as a zip file. Unpack that zip file, import that into Bambu Studio, and it will ask you about the colour mapping.
If you are using STL export, STL files generally do not contain colour information nor do most slicers know what to do with that if they do (AFAIK only Creality’s slicer creates/saves colour info, probably in some typical strange Creality way). Hence why you will loose all the colours from the TinkerCad project.
Otherwise, in a pinch, you can paint colours in Bambu Studio… via the “Colour Painting” button (on the toolbar between the “Ta” and ruler buttons).

Peter,
Thanks for that information which i will try.
The last comment i did in bambu lab adding the colour. It will print what is in the top and bottom side in the dice but nothing on the side. In the sliser i see what is going to be printed which is now the top and bottom and nothing else, and in the side of my screen it shows the slicer dice with colour on all sides. Not sure what the little screen means.
Attached is picture. First in prepare mode, second in preview.
