I don't have a multi-filament printer, but I'm under the impression that two color printing is quite useful because you can print high-contrast text, e.g. for labels. When I need to iterate a tricky design, I hand-label them "1" "2" ... If I could print better text, It would be nicer to include a version number, dimensions, etc.

This sort of printing is super easy on an bambu and wastes almost nothing if you can design your text onto the top of the print: You simply print the top few layers in your contrasty filament using the layer paint tool in the slicer. It works wonderfully.
