Different layer height in objects

Hello, I want to print a model with MMU, there are different objects on there but in the same height, lets say:
I have the ball and the cube at the same height, but I want to have ball printed in transparent color and 0.3mm layer height - the transparency looks much better at this layer height, however the cube will be opaque in red and I want to print it in 0.2mm layer height (or 0.1mm, as I dont know if 0.2 work properly with the ball's 0.3mm layer height)

Is it possible?

I did not find a setting allowing me to do that

Load both objects.

Click on the edit icon next to the listing in the right hand pane, one of the options is to modify Layers and Perimeters.

You will have to disable the wipe tower; this might be a disadvantage.

Also, printing two single colour objects with the MMU at the same time is extremely inefficient.  You may spend more time changing filament than actually printing.  Better to print them one at a time if at all possible.

Cheerio,

Hello, thanks but this is actually model which consist from mutliple objects, it has to be colored, so disabling wipe tower is a not possible, but thanks for your response!

If you want to keep the wipe tower you will have to use the same layer height for everything.

Simpler would be to print in monochrome and paint post printing.

Cheerio,
