It sounds like you are trying to use dual extrusion with your QiDi X-Pro printer in Ultimaker Cura. To assign different colors to different parts of the model, you'll need to split the model into two separate parts and assign them to different extruders in Cura. Here's how you can do it:

  1. In Ultimaker Cura, open the .3mf file of your model.
  2. Select the model in the build plate view.
  3. Right-click on the model and choose "Split model into parts."
  4. You can now assign different extruders to the different parts of the model by selecting each part and choosing the desired extruder under the "Per model settings" in the sidebar.
  5. Once you have assigned the parts to different extruders, slice the model and save the gcode file for printing.

Make sure that your QiDi X-Pro printer is set up correctly for dual extrusion and that the filament loaded in each extruder corresponds to the colors you want for the different parts of the model. Good luck with your dual-color rose spider print!
