MK3 MMU2 AutoCAD 2019 to Slic3r

Hello,

I designed a part using all 5 available color options in AutoCAD 2019. It looks really great in AutoCAD and I realize just because it looks good does not mean there are not flaws that will reveal when it prints.

I created the stl and when slic3r opens the file it is all one object. I lost all the AutoCAD layers. In Slic3r it is one color and one material.

It seems I cannot create even a simple 2 color design in AutoCAD and still get anything other than a single material fused into one object in Slic3r.

Anybody have time to explain to me what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

I'm not familiar with AutoCAD 2019 but in general you need to create or export the parts which you've created in different colours.
Means everything need to be export separately as many different objects.
Once you import them into Slic3er, you will be able to set for each object a separate colour.
