This is a great feature!

I figured this would finally be an option to export multi-colour models into Bambu Studio, however I’ve run into a little snag on testing. I get this error message in Bambu Studio:

 ![bambu](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/8/f/8f9a239021b78a47f2e4656432df7a2409870132.jpeg)

So the geometry gets loaded correctly in Bambu Studio, unfortunately not with the assigned colors though.

Keeping my fingers crossed for this feature! 🤞

It would be nice to be able to select which Orca slicer to use. Printer manufacturers are making custom builds of Orca

I wonder if it would be possible to just automatically export to whatever slicer is set as the default app for 3mf files in your operating system.

Since Orca and its variations are all forked from Bambu Studio in the first place, I’d wager they all handle 3mf files the same way.
