In Snapmaker OrcaSlicer you can have the Full Spectrum slicer. Doesn't allow you to import a picture yet, but I have been experimenting with it, and if you get translucent (mostly cheap or fast PLA) filament. It merges verry well
If you have expensive colours that are not translucent and have a stronger colour (black and white in my example) they don't merge as wel
(Example printed on a Snapmaker without any waste. I do not have green)
Interesting. Seems like a natural next step from the recent color mixing features Bambu/Orca slicers (I assume if it isn't already in Orca, it will be soon).
How much more time did it take to swap nozzles for each layer? Bambu Studio has this feature built in now.
I did a test 25mm^3^ cube with my A1 mini, and the extra time it took, setting aside the waste, was insane. I know the U1 is fast, but it's still got to add a noticeable amount of time.
It is slower but it's 5 seconds per change instead of 90 seconds. So it's up to 18x faster on multi color prints.
That 5 seconds is going to add up over 500 layers.
Oh sure. But it's 12 hours of color swap time on an a1 vs 41 minutes on a u1.
