2019.01.11 Initial Release
This thing will create a single STL file, so it is NOT optimized for Multi-Material printers, but it is very simple to print this thing in 3 colors by doing manual color changes at the right layer height.
If your printer supports the m600 command for a mid-print filament change use this method to print it:
Just slice the object in the Slicer of choice (i prefer slic3r prusa edition) and then export your gcode to a folder on your PC.
you can use a website from Prusa to add the correct M600 commands for the color changes
open this web page: https://www.prusaprinters.org/color-print/
then upload the gcode file you saved earlier
Now open your slicer and go to a preview mode where you can inspect each single layer. Slowly move upwards layer by layer till you find the layer on which you want the NEW color to be printed first. take that layer height and insert it on the web page as a "color change". do the same for each color change you want to have.
then download the modified gcode and print it.
