Multi color door hanger - single extruder

thingiverse

My manager decided enough was enough and started to put paper signs on his door to indicate his availability. Based on his design, I decided to gift him with a digitized, then printed version. The biggest thing I wanted to duplicate was his use of color. As I only have a stock Prusa MK3S, I had to get creative. It isn't obvious when you look at the STL files, but the text lines are two or three different heights. By using the color change feature in Prusa Slicer, you can add pauses in the code where the printer will finish a layer, move the head to the side, then request that you press the button to unload the filament and load a different color. Two or three color changes, and you'll see the magic. Don't worry that some letters may be two or three colors, the final colors will overlap them shortly, Included above is a Prusa Slicer project so you can start with an existing multicolor setup. Have fun!
