Multi material more extruders ?
Hi, I am new to Prusa and I wanted to use the coloring tool, just love it 🙂
Only thing is, I own a 4 color printer (zonestar Z9) and therefore I wanted to use all extruders to print me a file (later on like to add virtual, mix color, extruders also)
Now in the painting tool I only see 2 color for use (and thus 2 extruders) which I can change color.
But is is possible to add as much as, at least for now, 4 color choosing extruders ?
PS Sorry fo my English, its not my native as I am from the Netherlands 🙂

use expert mode,
In the printer settings tab, choose General and you should be able to add additional extruders.
the colouring tool only lets you adjust two colours at a time.
I generally set tool 1, to be the new colour, and colour 2 to be the main colour for the model,
this way, you can hilight a section of the model to colour with the left mouse button, and if you make a mistake, you can paint it back to normal with the right Mouse button
