CPE filament selcted in PrusaSlicer but cannot select CPE in the printer when changing/loading CPE

I do not know how this is expected to work, since CPE is not a selectable option when changing/loading a filament in the MK4 itself. If I try to print CPE gcode generated by PrusaSlicer the printer complains about the wrong filament, since I chose PETG in absence of CPE.

Hello Oliver, As a workaround you can select CPE as the filament on the Platter page in PrusaSlicer.

But before you slice your model, select Filaments from the menu and select Advanced. At Filament type, select PET or PETG instead of CPE.

As a result the filename should include PET in the gcode filename. I think you can also do this by changing CPE in the filename to PET or PETG.

Disclaimer: I have not tried to print CPE myself 😉 .
