I’ve had an issue with slicing a particular model in Snapmaker Orca for printing on a U1. I painted the entire object with filament “2”, which is just black PLA in my current setup. When I slice the object, I noticed that it shows filament “1” (pink PLA in my setup) in the list of filaments, along…

Here is a link to the 3mf. I couldn’t post that file type here. I tried zipping it, but it says new users can’t upload. Dropbox

Or you can use the drop-down menu to select the color on the part. It’s best not to paint to change the color ofa singl…

If you have a 3MF file, you can submit a ticket and send it to the technical staff for analysis. Or you can post it here for everyone to analyze together.
