Add text with different color to the surface of an object without embossing or debossing

Hi all,

I´ve tried to find the solution elsewhere but finally have to ask for forum help please. I got my MMU3 kit up and running and would now like to print objects with text on them, but with the text being embedded flush into the surface and not being embossed or debossed/imprinted. I was hoping this could be done with the text feature of Prusa Slicer, as an object created in Fusion and exported as stl or 3mf would not show text which is neither embossed or debossed, but I cannot get the Slicer to work the way I would like. I can add embossed text, change the color of that text and get it sliced correctly. It seemed to me that I could get the text embedded by making the text a "modifier" but if I do so, I apparently cannot change the color of the text (nor the depth of the text to ensure that it is a couple of layers deep). Where's my error?

Thanks so much; best

Chris

Oh, found the solution myself. There is a checkbox "Use surface" in the advanced section of the text tool, which was unchecked.

Cheers
