This is really cool! I only have a single-spool printer, but I wonder if I could brush or stamp paint over the top to give the surface a different color from inset lettering. I should probably also reinforce my Z axis before trying to print day numbers that small.

Kind of funny to see string manipulation functions implemented in Openscad code.

You can always insert a pause and swap to a different filament at a certain z-height.

As others have said, you can use M600 or a pause (depending on your printer) and swap filaments. The design specifically supports both use-cases, it can easily switch from all colors on a single height level to all colors having their own height levels.
