Hi @troian,

Although the 3MF format is capable of transferring the color, Shapr3D does not write color-related information into the file.

Just for the sake of interest, is the MMU from Prusa capable of handling face colors properly? The regular way of multi-color FDM print was to select which body should be printed by which head where the heads used different colors/materials.
