Layer Selective 3D printing: A step by step guide using Slic3r and Repetier Host

thingiverse

To clarify, in my tutorial, I mentioned that layer numbers in Repetier Host align with g-code layers, which is incorrect. G-code typically begins with layer 0 as the first layer, while Repetier Host uses layer 1. Hence, to change colors on layer 5, search for layer 4 instead. I have corrected this issue in the updated document; please replace it if you downloaded the initial version. Regarding visualizing paths and selecting layers in Repetier Host, I found it less reliable, so my instruction offers a more dependable alternative. I wrote this step-by-step guide on multi-color 3D printing for a friend using a Solidoodle, and decided to share it with everyone. The attached kitty model demonstrates the concept but is just a first attempt on Thingiverse.
