![]() ![]() 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. ![]()
