Improv3 ColorMix Top and Bottom Layer on flat surfaces

Problem

ColorMix has some limitations on top and bottom surfaces, because the color effect results as the sum of different collored layers. for the first and last layer you have only one and no color mix 

Idea

print first and last layer not solid, so the colors mixed with the previous layer

Apply and print

  1. add modifier on the top

    1. hight: one print layer hight

    2. top solid layers: 0 (because you can't set density for infill)

    3. perimeter: 0

    4. fill angel: 45 (can vary, based on your model, and personal feeling)

    5. fill density: 50% (set the ratio, you set in virtual extruder mix)

    6. fill pattern: aligned rect

  2. add modifier on bottom (be sure you have a propper default first layer, because you slice the first layer) 

    1. hight: one print layer hight

    2. bottom solid layers: 0 (because you can't set density for infill)

    3. perimeter: 0

    4. fill angel: 45 (can vary, based on your model, and personal feeling)

    5. fill density: 50% (set the ratio, you set in virtual extruder mix)

    6. fill pattern: aligned rect

Result

its not perfect but in my oppinion an improvement for flat surfaces.

its not a solution to fit all, you need a fitting model.
