Color paint is a feature that allows users to paint a model in a 3D scene. The painted model will be sliced into GCode tool paths extruded by multiple filaments. It may finally be printed out as a colorful model.
¶ Introduction
¶ Interface
¶ Filaments
It lists all available filaments in the current project as color boxes. You may pick a color for painting by simply clicking a color box or using shortcut keys 1~9.
