This is a Write-Up I have made to explain how to print multiple colors on a single layer without MMU . This works great for Texts on bottom layer of parts for example .

I have included my Write-Up in PDF format and two simple designs

- 0.4mm thin smiley with color change on every layer
- 5.8mm thick smiley with color changes on the bottom and top two layers

Disclaimer : This Write-Up has been based on Slic3R Prusa Edition v1.41 and tested on a Prusa i3 MK2.5 . The procedure should work on every printer that supports the M600 command for color changes , but of course everything you do is at your own risk :)

Feel free to contact me if anything is unclear im my write-up, everything makes sense to me , but of course, I have written it :)
