Printed these for my wife, who absolutely loves Peanuts, especially Snoopy / Woodstock.

I created five coasters in different colors.

I also created this coaster holder, which holds the five coasters perfectly and could handle an additional coaster.

Very cool. IS there a way you can teach me this process?? My Centauri Carbon can be upgraded for 4-color printing.

Since I'm using a Bambu Lab printer, I'm not sure if the process is analogous. My printer prints a color on layer one, then switches to a new color on layer one, and so forth, up to five colors, then moves to layer two. Other than loading the filaments I need, I don't do anything. The print profile either supports AMS or not. Some models have a separate profile for each option, in case you don't have the AMS, though probably not signs or other flat things.

Got ya. I am trying to learn the Elegoo Slicer app. https://www.elegoo.com/pages/download?c1=3d-printers-slicing-softwares (https://www.elegoo.com/pages/download?c1=3d-printers-slicing-softwares)

I think I see what you mean now...while you can use STL files on the Bambu Lab printers, they use .3MF files, which stores 3D mesh geometry, color data, multi-material settings, and slicing parameters in a single zipped package. Bambu Studio uses an extended version based on the 3MF Production Extension specification. I would not have been able to directly make those coasters if all I had was the STL file.

Turns out mine saves in that format.
