                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It's always been one of those weird limitations where you simply cannot use the 'sliced view color change' and the tool painter at the same time. The tool painter will simply 'turn off/cancel' the sliced view color change. That's why painting in the red/grey into the logo cancels how you currently have your black set up.</p><p> </p><p>One workaround is to just also paint in the black like you did the red and grey. Little annoying because of the numerous little islands.</p><p>Better workaround is to simply use your layer height modifier to set extruders to black. Very much like using the sliced view color change without actually using the sliced view color change specifically to avoid the painter tool conflict. You even already had the layer height modifier setup; it just wasn't actually doing anything.</p><p><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2026/02/ad913bf6-extru0.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-184082" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2026/02/ad913bf6-extru0.png" alt="" width="468" height="350" /></a> <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2026/02/49d9be76-extru.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-184083" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2026/02/49d9be76-extru.png" alt="" width="433" height="246" /></a></p><p> </p><p>Another thing to consider is using the paint tool will get you perimeters in the text rather than the zero-perimeter look of the white text. If you want to get the same effect of the white text then you'd need to setup precisely placed modifer shapes to do the color/extruder change instead of the painter tool; example in the bottom right card.</p><p><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2026/02/841df71c-untitled.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-184086" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2026/02/841df71c-untitled-600x500.png" alt="" width="600" height="500" /></a></p><p> </p><p>file:</p><p><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2026/02/4cd7c8c3-fixed-example.zip">fixed example</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings,</p><p>I'm trying to print our production plate with model name, serial number, etc. Until last year, I made it many times with i3MKS with fillament change in PrusaSlicer, as there is no more colors than white plate + black for last 2 layers. This can be simply print with PrusaXL, as there is no issue to set plate (white) with 0,4 mm nozzle and than last 2 layers (black) with 0,25 mm nozzle for better text resolution.</p><p><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2026/01/bd19a096-20260121_142536-scaled.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-183510" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2026/01/bd19a096-20260121_142536-600x500.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="500" /></a></p><p>So after slicing I set change of tool to number where is installed 0,25 mm nozzle. Just in the same way, as color change - as you can see on picture, that is no issue.</p><p>But... what if I wish to have logo in colors? I did the same settings, starts multicolor painting and add another 2 tools to get colors into our logo... but from this moment, PrusaSlicer ignores my request to chenge tool and made everything (except logo) in one (white) color:</p><p><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2026/01/18ba0724-20260121_141013-scaled.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-183511" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/prusa3d-content-prod-14e8-wordpress-forum-prod/2026/01/18ba0724-20260121_141013-600x500.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="500" /></a></p><p>So it looks like we can have standard (black&amp;white) plate or colored logo, but not both. I cannot find a reason for this, because if I wish e.g. black sides of this plate, that I understand that request for tool change get against multicolor painting. In this case, logo is embossed and everything from color painting is done <strong>before</strong> tool change to black 0,25 mm nozzle.</p><p>I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or it just matter of time that PrusaSlicer will get more updates for different nozzle sizes... Anyway, surface (top) layers has to be done with 0,25 mm, as 0,4 mm cannot handle this small letters. For sure I can print whole production plate with 0,25 mm, but I like idea that most of plate (1,2 mm) will be done with 0,4 mm with layer height 0,25 mm and only last two layers will be finished by 0,25 mm nozzle with layer height 0,15 mm.</p>]]></content:encoded>
