but the prime tower isnt showing up. is there a way to place it manualy?

Hello

Yes you can use the prime tower only but you do have to add 2 or more filaments so the prime tower will show up on the bed and yes you can move the prime tower to your seam location.

I am using two colours and still no prime tower
Switching from white to black once at a certain height

I just tested it on my end with Bambu Studio and Orca slicer and it’s working.

Do you have the current software versions ?

Can you test it on a cube and see if it works the file you have might have errors ?

Can you post a photo of your project ?

Still working for me but I did not have to split to part.

What slicer and version #

What happen if you do just one part ?

I tried it as well… with Range Height Modifier and coloring that part it does not work.
With cutting the model or with ‘change filament’ on layerheight (which would be the easiest way instead of the range height modifier in this case) the prime tower shows up.

Honestly, if it would be only a color change on a certain layer height in my opinion is overkill :slight_smile: But as the slicer shows the 2 colors, I would expect it a but - would be interesting digging into the GCode if the color change is really there or it is only a GUI error

Also you can do this with out a prime tower being it’s only the top layer anyways.

prefer with prime tower as it catched nozzle build up. I can add a block manually if needed

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I’ve been trying to find out for the past 15 minutes how I can create a new thread in this forum. I need to ask a new question about Bambu Studio. I just cannot find any button or link to post something new. Only reply to existing threads. I am logged in (as evidenced by me writing this reply). Any advice?
