Design separate parts for each color. This is usually the best method when you design your own models in FreeCAD/SolidWorks. For example, if you make a fishing lure wit…

For example, if you make a fishing lure with a black body, red gills, white eyes, and black pupils, you model those as separate bodies/components, export them together, and a…
- Download a pre-colored 3MF. Unlike an STL, a 3MF can contain multiple parts and color/material assignments. You open it, map its colors to your four loaded filament slots, slice, and print. FlashForge specifically supports importing multicolor 3MF models and assigning their colors. [embedded media…
