Convert Single-Color STL files into Multi-Body Models using MeshMixer
In order to slice for Palette+, you'll need to import up to 4 separate STL files and combine them in your slicer (We also have a video tutorial on how to slice with Simplify3D and Cura). If you already have a pre-made single body STL model, this may cause some issues as you wouldn't want to re-model each part into their own STL file. This is where MeshMixer comes in.
Below is a video tutorial which helps explain how to separate single color STL models in multi-color/multi-material models with MeshMixer. These multi-body STLs are then ready to be sliced and printed with your Palette!

Hello!
had a problem with canvas getting only one stl file when I sliced.
I have clicking Devices above project settings and turning 'Accessory' on.
But still only get a stl file...
this is a file with only one color. in single mode when I loaded it into canvas....
Can't print just one color why ??

Hello Christer, to clarify, are you selecting your Palette model as well? If you could share a screenshot of what you’re seeing, that would be helpful (jonny@mosaicmfg.com). Also, are you receiving a single GCode file?
