Extrusion Indicator feasibility
This is my 4th version already, so it may be version 15 by the time my kit arrives (another 2 or 3 weeks allegedly). At this point, I'm still a printing virgin. What's a good-easy technique/software platform to use for splitting this small, simple part into two colors as shown in the picture? The part is small (36.2mm OD).
RE: Extrusion Indicator feasibility
this model will have problems printing, because of the back shape.
it will need supports... for a first print I would make the back flat,
and use a thick Magnet

I'm hesitant to flatten the back as that will add weight. Couldn't hurt to try it though. I suppose that's the beauty when you can just print a new one. I wouldn't care if there are support blemishes though, it's a non-cosmetic surface.
I'd like to print the orange in a shiny or shimmery finish and the black in a matte finish. Would/could/should I use a mix of material? Of course I'll start with what I've got. I've already ordered or received the jet black petg (prusa), black pla 2.5 kg (ic3d-amazon), black abs (flashforge-walmart). Plus, the Prusament PETG Orange and more but that's the only orange I've ordered. I'm open to suggestions.
