I noticed there were no good test prints for Prusa's Colormix feature on the 8-tool INDX  out there, so i made one. And, since i was at it anyways, i tried to make it (in my opinion) better than the existing test prints for fewer tools :)

Notable features include:

  • All possible combinations of 8 colors

  • 1:3, 1:2, 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 mixing ratios

  • multiple surface angles (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°), each one exposed for 30 layers at 0.1mm layer height

  • every combination is its own named object, so you cancel combinations that don't look promising

  • requires minimal filament (Tool 1: ~21g, Tool 2-6: ~17g, Tool 7-8: ~14g)

  • prints in 12 hours with 0.1mm layer height

  • (hopefully) not as confusing as some other test prints out there :D

  • 1024 tool changes, which is a nice number (totally not just a coincidence)

I had to spend an afternoon getting into the internals of 3MF files to make this work nicely without going crazy from configuring 148 virtual extruders and painting them by hand. <.< If there's interest, i can make a version for fewer tools as well.
