Multi-material samples please #53

I presume 3MF supports the following scenario:

The reason being that there could be HUNDREDS of bodies - for example, a parent body with hundreds of characters of text embedded into it, but if only two materials were specified in the CAD application (One for the parent body, one for all the characters of text), then this could be a very laborious task

A look at the 3MF spec seems to indicate that this is indeed supported by 3MF via basematerials

I am due to be getting an IDEX printer in December, and will face exactly this scenario, so I am trying to work out how various slicers would handle this. To that end, it would be nice to have a sample file with multiple basematerials defined
