How would this 6 color print work (A1 with AMS)

This print is 6 colors. How would that work with the A1 with AMS? Does it prompt you to change filament? Its a 26 hour print, would one have to babysit it and keep checking or would the timer let you know how long before a change is needed?

Looks like black, white and yellow are all quite separate in the model - so you could set them all to the same colour (black) in the slicer, then manually swap spools in the AMS between the three colours.

Timing the swaps could either be done by babysitting the print, or insert pauses in two places to make sure you don’t miss the points where you need to swap the spools.

Ps/ or you could potentially just slice the model into 3 x 4 colour sections and then print them each separately.

Or even split into more sections to reduce the number of colour swaps in each section - could probably save many hours of print time and a lot of waste if it is broken into a few 2 colour sections.

I use the Handy app for 99% of my prints, so I am not that familiar with using BS or any other slicer other than to resize things. I was hoping someone could look at the file for that model and see what it does.

There no longer seems to be a print profile on Makerworld for that model.

The model actually looks simple enough to be created in BambuStudio in about 10 mins out of a few cube primitives resized, assembled and moved with some text on them if there is a suitable font available for the big M.

I just noticed that it’s gone. There was something there before because that is what prompted me to ask. It showed AMS compatible but I was away from home and my printer was not on, so I was not able to go to the “prepare to print” screen to see what would happen.
