Prusa Slicer and 2 color prints- how can the files be shared?
First let me share my perpetual frustration that forums on all webpages are subdivided and subdivided, so that nobody sees your question unless they happen to be in that particular subslot.
That being said, feel free to move this into its politically correct subslot. But before its tucked away there, can anybody answer this?
I have just started using the Prusa slicer and I like it a lot so far. Anyway I have a 2 color printer (Sovol SV04) and especially like the painting feature. I have designed a 2 color print, but just would like to share that with other people who have multi color printers. Is it possible for me to export the design into a file that can be used universally? If I slice it into Gcode, it of course will only work with an SV04, and with the settings I picked for my filaments, and on. And if I export it to an STL, all the color information appears to be lost.
Usually two color prints are separated into two STL files, and then these can be pulled into slicers and printed by other printers with the settings they want Isn't there any way the Prusa slicer can do this, export the design into two STLs, one for each color so that the color information is saved?
Thanks

Save it as a Prusa slicer project file. File>save project as. That is a type of 3mf file. The painting data is saved and others can open it in a suitable slicer and then change the printer, filament and print profiles without removing the painted areas of the model etc.
