Change the color of the brim

Hi, I have a multicolor print (two colors). I have a pink and a black part. It starts printing the pink part so the brim is also in pink. But the pink part is on the inside and the brim is (obviously) on the outside. But there is the black part.
The problem here is that it touches the black part and it leaves pink marks.
Is there a way to tell it to change the brim color or to let it start with the black part so that the brim is also black?

Thanks in advance.

Color order on the first layer is determined by the Filament order in BS / AMS

hmmm :thinking: That should be changed then :grinning: Being abble to sellect the color of your brim should be a software feature.
So I need to arrange the filament rolls in the AMS to get a different starting color?

Thanks for your answer

Thanks @ZundersHD It seems to work :slight_smile:

Yeah, granular material overrides is something they need to borrow more from Cura.

with the new BL software 1.5.xxx they added a problem
i opend a project made in version 1.4.xxx that had the correct brim color /filament
in the new bl studio it changed the color of the brim and the color it starts printing with
and there are no options to change this back to how it was
beside going back to version 1.4

i hope the brim color option can be implemented on short term

ps switching ams positions has no effect

Same issue here,
I’m trying to place coloured text on a box lid that’s flush with the bottom layer. I can’t get to work, it keeps putting an ugly orange brim on the outside of my nice black box.
The black filament selected as the first one in the slicer…
It seems odd that the Brim filament isn’t at least automatically determined by the filament used on the perimeter of the model.
Ideally it should be a setting that could be changed for those who have multiple colours on the model perimeter and want to choose which to use.

Beside the build plate thier is a Nut icon with a settings menue. If you change “First layer Filament sequence” from Auto to custamize you can select witch filament will print first. The first color filament printed will be the color of the brim

thx so much, that was really helpfull !

Thank you so much for this info!!!

All i get when i click the nut icon is a list of system filaments and cuatom filaments, no menu or anything else

You’re looking at the wrong place. You can either click the gear icon on the bottom right of this screenshot:

Or Click the objects tab, then click the Plate and the setting is below, like in this screenshot:

In Orca slicer (for those that do) the build plate icon is 2 horizontal sliders. As said, change from auto. Thank you for this info.

this just saved me, thx!!!
