How to print in 2 or 3 colors?
I work with SketchUp Free version and have a CubeX.
However, CubeX enables 3 colors. I could print in one color. Itried to put 2 colors on my .stl file, put off the "single color" sign on Cubify (the CubeX software) but my model was printed in one color.I need help. Ideas?
Thank you

Hi Catherine, welcome to the forum!
To print in multiple colors, the STL file must be split into multiple pieces - like separate groups or components in Sketchup. If the STL file is just a single shell, then the model can only be printed in one color.
Does that make sense? If you need more help, you may link or upload the file you want to print and we can help you from there.

Sure it makes sense
I will try now with a very small model.
Thank you for your help ! -
Great, please report back with your questions or results!
I have never actually used a printer with more than one nozzle, so I'm curious how It works for you.
