Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

I have been using zhop for years to print multicolor logos on the first few layers of a print using a single nozzle. With each color printing as a separate print then switching filaments and printing the next print color. I would love to be able to set this up in orca slicer or orca-flashforge. To use the multicolor system that would make the change to the new spool and new print automatically. I think this would save time and filament by only swapping four times on a four-color print instead of 4 times each layer.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All
