![]() ![]() If you're using slic3r, you'll need to insert a custom layer change G-Code command so that later on when we look through the code, you'll be able to spot the layer where you want to insert the M600. Before you slice - Slic3r / prusa slicer only If you're wanting to switch to a different material with a different temperature requirement or your file does include z-hop, then you're going to need to open up your gcode file in a text editor and insert the M600 command (and temperature change if needed) manually. This can be multiple times when you're using z-hop as the print head is moving up and down a number of times on a single layer. The issue with ColorPrint and using z-hop in your gcode is that ColorPrint works by detecting the z movement commands and enters the M600 every time the printer goes to the specified z height. Just upload the G-Code and select the z height at which you would like the change to occur. This way you don't need to open up the file in a text editor or anything, it's all done behind the scenes. If you're not using z-hop in your slicing software and you'd just like to change colour, you can easily insert the M600 command wherever you'd like in your print using Prusa's ColorPrint website. If you're looking to change colour or materials part way through your prints, the best way to do it is with an M600 command placed in your G-Code. I recommend using this for colour changes instead of manually editing the gcode, unless you need to change the hotend temperature. Update: As of Slic3r Prusa Edition version 1.42, the colour change feature is now built in to Prusa Slicer. ![]()
