Hello,
I am trying to create a 2 color 3D printed item, but I can't even find the correct program to use. Is their a tutorial somewhere that would show me the correct program to use and how to use it?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you,

That shows how to do a basic setup, which is helpfull. However it doesn't inform me which program I should use in createing a digital designs nor how to set it up to print with Repetier-Host.
I have seen a YouTube video about the basics of putting an item together but not how to create nor set it up first.
This is the YouTube
video.

It shows placing 2 items on the grid and then combining them. But what program do I use to create my own digital designs,with 2 colors, so they will work in Repetier-Host?
Thanks for the help.

You can use CAD or solid work to draw the model. Then translate the model into 2 stl file which are complementary.
In one repetier, open 2 stl file.
I don't know if my description is clear enough.
