Printed with two PETG filaments on a glass bed with hairspray. Printed the black lines (with a custom end code that doesn’t turns off motors) then printed the white over it in a separate gcode (also with custom start with no homing). It even allows me to go with an exact and cut off hairs and blobs before laying the white. The. The two fuse on the same layer so the color isn’t sticking out.

My issue is if it fails you’ve lost your entire print, me if it fails I lost a single layer. Also I like the mirror finish of my first layer.

This is why I have GCode to unfail the print prior to resume. It Rehomes xy so it can pick up right where it left off even if things get moved.
