EXTRACTED KNOWLEDGE / HOW-TO FROM CONVERSATION

QUESTION / CONTEXT: how do i print this in 2 colors

1. Load both filament colors into the printer first.
2. Once both colors appear under Filament, select the die.
3. Look at the top toolbar. The tool you want is the Color Painting / Paint tool. Depending on the FlashForge Studio version, it may appear as a paint bucket/painting icon after the object is selected.
4. Open Color Painting and select Filament 2 as your paint color.
5. Use the Fill or Smart Fill painting method and click inside each recessed dot. Because the pips are separate recessed surfaces, you should be able to fill each circular depression without manually brushing every triangle.
6. Rotate the die and paint all the pips on all six sides with Filament 2. Leave the rest assigned to Filament 1.
7. Click Slice plate, then go to Preview. Change the preview coloring to Filament if necessary. You should see the cube in Color 1 and the dots in Color 2.
8. 1 — Black PLA
