How to prepare models from Makers Empire for multicolor printing?

STEP 1:

Create your design using 4 colors (or 8 / 12 / 16 colors if you have multiple AMS'!)

Click ‘Finish’ when you are happy with your design.

STEP 2:

Open the Teacher Dashboard -> Class Management -> Classes and find the design.

Use the 3 dot menu to "Download 3D Files”:

STEP 3:

Go to "My 3D Files"

Use the download icon to download the design in OBJ file format.

Note: STL’s don’t include the color information

STEP 4:

Import the multicolor OBJ into Orca Slicer and the color information will be automatically imported - no need to 're-paint' the design!

You will be given the opportunity to 'assign' colors from the design to the filament you have loaded:

STEP 5:

You can now prepare the file for printing as normal!
