Multi Material Flaps for Split-flap counter

I really liked Thomas H. design, and since I have a Multi-Material printer I didn't do the colour changing method, instead I used the Multi-Material painting feature on PrusaSlicer.

That printed nicely, leaving the parts with multiple colours without the usual colour change on the sides.

However, since the model was designed for the colour change method, i.e. having the number appear at a different layer height, that meant that there was a gap when printing the number on the bottom (0.2mm) and that layer wouldn't end up very pretty.

In order to avoid that I remixed the flaps part.

Changes

• Removed the gap (0.2mm) - Better first layer, no longer possible normal colour change
• Separated the numbers from the flaps as new objects - Possibility to add different colours to objects on Multi-Material mode.
