MK2 MMU how to enable single material mode???

I'm running slic3R on a mac, attempting to print single material parts, I cannot for the life of me find the option to turn on single material mode, I have just been turning off the wipe tower and printing with one extruder, but it doenst prime the tip properly when I Do that, so I would really like to know how to enable single material mode.

I found the switch in prusa control, but I would prefer to have a little more control over settings like temp and such, so having that functionality in slic3r would be great 🙂

Am I just blatantly missing it??? or is there no option to turn it on for slic3r?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated 😀

I just print using the standard settings, but with everything going to the first extruder. I have not noticed a priming issue, but I do have a larger skirt (3 loops) which might mask that completely.

Use the regular old non-MMU version and choose the "Original Prusa i3 MK2 MM Single Mode" profile under "Printer" on the right side of the screen.

That version is missing on the Mac version with mk2mm_Slic3r_prusa3d_1_9_2.ini

Thanks for all the replies! I will see if it shows up in the regular settings but i don’t recall it being there. I just want to use single mode mostly for the more precise layer thicknesses.

found it!! if you load the generic MK2 profiles in slic3r you can select between multimaterial and single material.
