Filament change without AMS mid-print

I’m also looking for how to have it detect different color/filament mid-layer and insert a pause. I saw there was some way to edit code, but curious if there’s any other solution. Thanks!

I apologize, as I just noticed this message.
I DMed you.

would you mind sharing with me too? i’ve been trying to print a led matrix and i need a white layer first then everythinh black

I’m also very interested in how to do it. Thank you in advance.

I would be interested in that Method too. I need to Print some Lightboxes for my Kids, and they all have 6 or more Collors, and my AMS has only 4.

I am using an A1, is that a Problem?

I am sorry, I don’t own an A1 and I’m not sure how much different the G-Code would be to make that work for your setup.

I’d love to know how you’ve done this…

Which printer do you own?

Thanks for coming back to me!

I’ve got an X1C

@Lexi could you share your method with me too?

Can you tell me? Im trying to add some text of different color on the first layer

Sorry for the delay, I haven’t been around here much lately.

Hey Lexi, could you DM me the instructions pretty please? :blush:

Ehi Lexi can you DM the method please? I’d like to print two colours in a layer🥳 thank you

Like everyone else I would like to know the method you have come up with for the color changes without AMS, or even better switching from an AMS color to the outside spool with another type of filament. Please DM me your method, and thanks in advance for being a great community member.

Hi @Lexi,

Sorry to be a bother but I am very curious about this as well. At some point, I would love to print some TPU 95A from the rear directly into a PETG part (from the AMS) for a pool outlet.

May I add my name to the list of requestors for learning about the work-around you developed?

With many thanks for your consideration and great contributions,
Yours,
Eno
