Multicolor (same layer) print with standard mk2

Hi, I've tested a new way to print multicolor objects with different colors on the same layer. The result is awesome:

I explain how I do it on the video. It's in french but I think you can understand just by looking at it. I'm using slic3r PE 1.37.1

If you want to test it, you can download the keychain here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2594294

💡 so you are simply doing what the mm-kit does manually, by using the M600 command inside a layer.
this is a good option/idea when using colored effects at flat surfaces.... but I won't recommend it when the change of color(s) is needed every layer 🙄 .

dem inscheniör is' nix zu schwör...

Some discussion and links to instructional videos of this technique here:
https://shop.prusa3d.com/forum/print-tips-slic3r-settings-kisslicer-model-repair--f12/multi-color-printing-different-way-t4836.html

I've accomplished the same thing using simplify3d and multiple processes.
