I am new to Bambu and just bought my first A1 Mini. I really like the printer so far. But it seems to me a simple thing to add an option for the printer to pause for a manual filament color change between layers when no AMS is installed.
Prusa does it with a right click on the layer bar. A simple insertion of a manual color change would be handy.
. If I am just missing something, I would appreciate any suggestions.
There is a pause at layer option
It doesn’t seem to let you put it on the same layer as the color change though.
You will need to delete the change colour to add the pause option ( right mouse button )
In the Studio preview window, scroll down until you reach the layer you want to pause, just before that layer RMB on the scroll bar and choose pause/change filament.
However this only works when in the print by layer process, when in print by object this option is disabled.
It surprised me too that inserting a filament change, without an AMS attached, does not introduce a pause and a request for a manual filament change. This would have been very logical, especially since it does show the new colour in the Preview. Instead, the printer just continues with the first colour. You have to add a pause instead of a filament change when you have no AMS. Still strange.
HAs been discussed multiple times, but adding M400 U1 g code to filament settings, will add pause where ams would change color.
Thanks for this tip. You probably agree that this should be the default…
It’s still strange now to me coming from 0 3d printing experience.
I think there should be a option for it yes. Among many other things that would be helpfull.
Cant think this would be on top of their list since they also want to sell AMS units 
Oh and mind you, if you use this, machine wont know to end program when last layer is layed. you need to manually press continue to the pause it will do when it is done.
I’m hopeful |I know when my printers doing something
