RE: ColorMix for EasyPrint and PrusaSlicer 2.9.6
Looks like a good start. There are two things I would like to see added:
1) Once you create a virtual color source, there is no way to see what was created unless you click the button again. There should be a visible list of the colors/virtual tools you have created directly in the main interface, maybe under the Tools section.
2) I understand that, in your testing, you only saw results at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% mixing. However, there needs to be a custom mixing option similar to Orca. A slider for changing shades is a must. Different filament brands will perform differently, for better or worse, so there should be an advanced option for shading and custom mixes.
But anyway, a 7-color test print is currently in progress on the Prusa XL.
