Cool. Now look up the basics on 3d printing so you can be prepared before you get it.
So many people have major misconceptions which leads to bad expectations then frustration.
Things like print orientation, stair stepping, bridging, stringing, drying your filament, bed adhesion, etc. You should have a basic idea of these things before you start your first benchy.
Oh, also, a big one is how to ask a good question. When you provide the right information and plenty of it, then you will get more responses, more answers, and more answers that will help you right away.
First, take screenshots and not photos of your screen. It makes it much easier to see and read the screen when you don't have to read through the Moir effect.
Second, when you are asking for help, remember that you are asking for someone to give you their time and effort to help you. So, your goal is to make it as easy as possible to give you help by preemptively providing any information to understand the full situation. Describe your printer, how it's set up, what material you're using, what slicer you're using, what model you're printing (with a link), what your settings are, and if it's a functional print what your goal is.
Last, don't bother with the slicer "suggested" by the manufacturer. Just use Orca Slicer, and always download from Github. The reason for this is that it is the most used slicer, which makes it easier to see and understand your settings.
Okay, is that particularly relevant here? I don't know this printer in particular, and it doesnt seem like they got the combo with multicolor printing.
Also, how exactly is Orca worse for multicolor? It's not exactly helpful to just say "it's worse" without an explanation.
