I need to create a flat badge where I want to create the "key symbol" in one color and the surrounding area in another, on the same layer height.
I know that it is quite easy with cura to stop printing at a certain layer height to swap filament, but this is not possible here.
Does anyone know how to achieve this?
I think you'll need to print the main symbol first in one colour, than swap the filament and then let it "embeed" the outerframe around the previous printed.
The key smbol should not be that high, only some layers thick, so that it should not really collide with the nozzle or pose any particular problems on that side.

Dear all,
I need to create a flat badge where I want to create the "key symbol" in one color and the surrounding area in another, on the same layer height.
I know that it is quite easy with cura to stop printing at a certain layer height to swap filament, but this is not possible here.

Thank you very much for your help 😉
