Paint and cut

[botolo]

Please, please, please, add a feature where we can paint a model (similarly to what we would do with an MMU or XL multi-toolhead) and then have the slicer cut that model in multiple parts, for each color, so that we can then print these models one color at a time with a single extruder printer.

That would be awesome. In the meantime - nowhere near as elegant and self contained as the chunks we see in prusaslice multi tool results: https://help.prusa3d.com/guide/splitting-stl-with-single-compact-part_106640
You can thicken meshes and then subtract them from the main body, so that's a bit more similar to the slicer's results.

It looks the creation of volumes behind a colour in the slicer uses normals to the surfaces, but you don't automatically get chunks that could be placed/removed.

So there's a whole extra world of challenges to creating parts that could be separately printed.
