First layer multicolour.....

I have a MMU3 on the way to add to my MK4s and I would like to create some prints where just the first 1 or 2 layers are multicolour.

So for example, it could be a door sign or a coaster, where I will place the coloured side face down on the bed (for the smoothest result). 

I want the first one or two layers to print in multicolor, and the remaining layers will be a single colour. This will save filament, and will avoid the need to change colours every layer. 

Is there an easy setting in Prusaslicer to do this?

Best Answer by Diem:

Alhough possible there it's not really a slicer setting, do it in CAD; just make the coloured parts two layers deep.

Attached are three files zipped together.  Import all together into slicer as parts and assign a different extruder to each.  Intended for 0.2mm layers.

Cheerio,

Thanks - will take a look. 

Just to be clear - Im not looking to change colours by layer height - I want to change multiple colours for just first one or two layers, and then the rest of the object can print in one solid colour.
