Colorprint accepts only ONE change?!

Hello,
can anyone confirm my experience with colorprint? I tried setting up 4 color changes in the colorprint web app, but after download only the first change is in the gcode.

I also tried to change the gcode with PrusaControl. Importing gcode and setting up the changes worked fine, but saving gcode comes never to an end!

At last I implemented color changes by hand with an editor.

Regards Jürgen

I didn't have any problems with the web tool.

From your name, I assume you are a German speaker like me. PrusaControl has a lot of problems with umlauts in the filename. Make sure you replace any ä, ö, ü, ß in your file names with ae, oe, ue, ss. Hope this helps.

Yes, I reported the same thing a while ago. The ColorPrint app has a bug where it will allow you to specify multiple changes but will only insert one change.

Re: Colorprint accepts only ONE change?!

I am still seeing this issue with my MK2s. I insert 2 color changes via the web dialogue, but only the 1st change actually shows up in the downloaded .gcode file. Is there an alternate / updated ColoPrint tool should be using?

Could you post an example gcode of doing this?

I ended up just doing it manually as well. Color changes at 1.21 and 1.61. M600 command at line 9047 and 12413. I can't seem to attached the Sample gcode file, so here is the text around those changes.

; layer 6, Z = 1.210
G1 1.210 F10000;
M106 S153
; feature inner perimeter
; tool H0.200 W0.420
G1 Z1.210 F2400
G1 X100.932 Y104.140 F7200
G1 E0.8000 F1800
G1 X100.843 Y103.561 E0.0188 F2520
M600
G1 X100.709 Y103.192 E0.0126

; layer 8, Z = 1.610
G1 1.610 F10000;
; feature inner perimeter
; tool H0.200 W0.420
G1 Z1.610 F2400
G1 X100.932 Y104.140 F7200
G1 E0.8000 F1800
G1 X100.843 Y103.561 E0.0188 F2520
