PIC2LAYERS GUIDES
Pic2Layers Frequently Asked Questions
Answers based on the current tool and its actual export behavior.
What is Pic2Layers?
A browser-based tool that converts an image into a layered, multicolor design for 3D printing. You can preview the stack, change filament colors and export the model.
Can I use my own filament colors?
Yes. Select a color band in the palette or 3D preview and replace its detected color with a filament color you own. The 3MF contains separate color parts.
What can I download?
The model alone downloads directly as 3MF or STL. The optional kit is a ZIP containing the model, a fitted frame, a bezel and a printing guide.
Do I need an AMS or MMU?
No. A printer that supports manual filament changes at the specified heights can also make a layered print. Check your printer and slicer before starting.
Does it work in Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer?
You can import the exported 3MF or STL into slicers that support those formats. Material assignments may differ between slicers, so verify colors and layer-change heights there.
Are my images private?
The selected image is processed in your browser and is not uploaded to a Pic2Layers server. Your browser still requests the site files from our hosting provider.
Is Pic2Layers free?
The current web tool is free to use and does not require an account.
Does the preview predict the final filament colors?
No. It shows solid color regions, not a calibrated simulation of light transmission. Printed colors depend on your filaments and layer thickness.
