How to map colors of items to match spool order?
I hope this makes sense as its tough to explain:
Assume you have an object already colored in the prusa slicer. Lets say:
- Red mapped to spool 1
- Blue mapped to spool 2
- Black mapped to spool 3
now you have the spools already loaded, but in a different order, e.g. black (1); red (2); blue (3).
Is it possible to remap the colors IN THE SLICER? I understand that I can unload the spools and load them in the correct order (red, blue, black), but is that also possible in the slicer software?
(and yes, I'm also aware that i change the colors in the slicer to the correct spool and repaint the object, but im looking for a method where I do not need to repaint, nor need to physically change spool order)
This is a drawback of relying on slicer-painting for colour - but straightforward if the parts are coloured in CAD. Quite a few of the CAD-like functions offered by the slicer are there as a last minute stop-gap and only offer a workaround if the user has no access to the design files.
Cheerio,

so, no?! not possible?
Not in the slicer.
You do have the 'Tools mapping screen' in your LCD menu - sect 9.1.7 in your manual 'though not well explained.

that will work fine as well, thanks!
