Support Material without AMS

I have a question to the P1P using Support material without AMS (think will order in few months).
Is it possible to use it like this? Putting it in for several supports and then remove again and going ahead with pla?
How would it work?

Even it would work, do you really want to swap filament every single layer?

Yes i want to. As long as i have no AMS i want to try the Support material because have trouble every time with the sipports.

I think it is only do-able when the inteference layer is from the soluble support material. and if it is in 1 single layer.

I have a mostly self built i3 style printer based on a wanhao i3, or call it heavy upgraded.
I had bought support material and used it litterally once, it’s just to much work.
Have upgraded the printer with a dual nozzle setup, didnt get it precise enough to my liking and abandonned the support material idea.

Just try to finetune your slicer, if the settings are good, most of the support just breaks away.

Did you ever find a way to do this? I would like to as well. I don’t mind changing the filament for the support layer, but need the printer to pause at the appropriate moments.

I thought I had got all the correct settings recently and excitedly ran the print but it simply went from start to finish without pausing.

I had the same today. In my (external) TPU print setup I created a support, set the support layer to PLA and reduced the distance between support and part to 0.

I also expected that my P1S will ask for the material change. But as you wrote that did not happen.

Sometimes I change the colors in my TPU prints, but that always effects the hole layer.
But the area where I would need the PLA support is only a part of the layer.

Have no idea how to do that.

Can someone from @BambuLabs please chime in? This is an important question.
