Improve stability of MMU print

Hello everyone,

I would like to print the object in the photos. The cube is multi-colored.

The problem is, that the colour is not just on the surface, but runs through all the layers. As a result, the print is very unstable at the colour transitions and breaks apart here.

How can you increase the stability of an MMU print, e.g. by making the infill continuous and the color changes only on the surface?

Thanks for the help

The answer is in the question.

Make the core continuous and apply the coloured parts only to the surface layers.

Attached is a zipfile containing three stl files illustrating the method, load them together as parts, allocate extruders and slice.

Cheerio,
