Weekend Poll

I've got color on the brain.

Between FullSpectrum slicer in March, Bambu Lab integrating it directly into its software, and new tools like ColorStack making it possible to print color texture data directly on a regular 3D printer, things are looking vibrant in desktop 3D printing.

And it's all possible from software that can interpolate between different color filaments – having them optically blend to give the appearance of another color altogether. Some folks are pushing it far, but right now it's too wasteful to do without a toolchanger. Say toolchangers become the standard one day – are you on board with it?
