What is Multi colour printing?
In short
Multi colour printing means a printer feeds more than one filament at a time, so parts come out in colour without swapping by hand.
Multi colour printing means a home printer pulls more than one filament at the same time, so separate parts come out in different colours in a single run instead of being printed one colour and swapped by hand. It saves the reloading and the re-slicing, which matters on a long print. ALTERNATE in Spain, Anycubic and Bambu Lab all support it. AtomStack and BIQU do not, so a buyer wanting colour parts in one go should weigh those two differently.
