Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

I hate that printing layer by layer in a simple 2-3 color print waste so much filament as poop And print by object need unnecessary much space around each object.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

Is it possible to add a mode where it prints by color instead of just layer or each object by itself? Say you have a print with 5 black parts and 6 white parts and want to print it in one plate. This mode would take all black objects layer by layer and then with the needed spacing do all white object layer by layer after. This would save a ton of space on the plate.

Describe alternatives you've considered
