Material Change during printing

Hi, 

I want to change from PETG to TPU during printing... (only 1 time within the print job)... what I achieved so far on Prusaslicer is inserting a pause (it says for inserting hexa nuts, or so) and then go to my MK3S and manually change the material. The problem is, the printer doesn't ask for TPU and rather assumes it should go on with PETG...

How can I fix that?

Thanks

No answers? Is my request not trivial? 

Thx

RE:

There is no way to change to a new filament profile on a layer height, that I know of, but I have limited knowledge of PrusaSlicer (and maybe why no one answered). You can add a modifier and change some parameters such as fill density and such.. but that is not what you need... .. You could do it fully manually, by inserting a color change by layer .. then you manually change to TPU.. you then go to the TUNE menu and manually change the temp of nozzle .. then as it starts printing.. you'd rotate the knob to change the speed to say .. 50% or something appropriate for TPU. And that might give you something workable..
