A colour 3MF project with assigned filament bands and solid layer settings.

Adjust the live preview, then generate your final 3MF.

Open as a project in Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer. Select your printer and real filament profiles, map the loaded spools and slice. Colour bands are already assigned.

The preview updates live and sharpens automatically when you pause. Zoom both images to compare details. Export detail applies when you generate or download a model. The blend is approximate. Starter transmission values are illustrative; enter measured values and test a small print.

A LITTLE IMAGE. A LOT OF LAYERS.

A painting your printer can make.

  1. Choose your artwork.

    Photos, gradients and illustrations work well. Adjust the brightness and contrast, or match image colours to your stack.

  2. Plan the colour changes.

    Automatically detect the main image colours, then edit filament colours, transmission values and starting layers. The height of each part determines which layers it receives.

  3. Slice, swap, print.

    Open the colour 3MF as a project. Keep its layer heights and solid settings, choose your printer and filament profiles, then map your spools and slice. STL and a manual swap guide are also available.
