ColorPrint doesn't seem to work

The web version crashes and the PrusaControl version gets stuck on 99%. I'm using the Mk3 version and just checked to make sure I had the latest release. Anyone know what's going on?

Re: ColorPrint doesn't seem to work

While I can't speak to why colorprint is not working, I've never found it to be reliable anyway. With Z-Hop , analyzing the G-Code to find a layer change is problematic.

Instead, you can use the Before_Layer_Change GCODE feature in Slic3r to so the same thing. Here's an example that will prompt for a filament change just before printing the layer at .8mm and at 1.8mm.

;BEFORE_LAYER_CHANGE
;[layer_z]
{if layer_z==.8}M600{endif}
{if layer_z==1.8}M600{endif}
