Thin business card print
Fiddling for fun a thin business card print. Vgot box 5cmx6cm where I have my print. THe box is just 0.4mm thick, intended for 4 layers of 0.1mm print. On top of that I have another 0.4mm of text, again hoping for 4 layers of print.
Thing is that Prusa Slicer (2.0) is giving me on the foruth layer a mix of top solid infill and Solid infill just under the text. PRetty expected behaviour. However I'd like to swap filament for the text and wonde rif I can produce a solid box of 4 layers with one colour and then print text on top of it, but so that the entire 4th level is top solid infill, and not reflecting the fact tha tther ewill be something on top.
Which modifiers should I use? Or is there another trick to it?
Want the above layer to be iniform red "top solid infill" layer so that it fills the entire box in usison.
Thanks for your help!

Not a direct answer to your problem, but be aware that the minimum for 1st layers is 0.15mm. You can easily insert color changes into gcode using PrusaSlicer even on single-color printers.

What you can do is print in face down. So a multi colour print you print the text you want on the bed 1 layer thick then you swap colours and the rest of the print can be printed around the already laid down letters. That gives you a single surface with multi colours but has the limitation of only being a single layer thick.
