ColorPrint only inserts the last change?
I'm trying to use ColorPrint to get two color changes into my gcode file. The object is 16 mm high, sliced at 0.1 mm layer height, and I'm setting up two color changes at 5.3 and 10.7 mm. Unfortunately, when I get the modified file back and examine it in a text editor, only the color change at 10.7 has been inserted. The color change at 5.3 mm is nowhere to be found. Now that I see that a color change is apparently as trivial as adding an M600 I can do it myself manually, but ColorPrint appears to be broken.

Be sure to disable Lift-Z when using color print app, maybe thats the problem
Re: ColorPrint only inserts the last change?
The ColorPrint page claims that it now supports Z-lift, no need to disable it.

Ah ok, didnt know that, i use it some time ago and before it wasn't. Glad to know
Re: ColorPrint only inserts the last change?
I have experienced this too. Only applies the last color change. Needs to be fixed.

If you make z lift 0.61 0r similar
You are Less likely to mix up actual layers and a lift instances when editing the gcode

Re: ColorPrint only inserts the last change?
So here is a thing I just experienced with ColorPrint. Usually when I add two color changes then hit the "download .gcode" button, it only applies the last (2nd) color change. Today, I applied two color changes in ColorPrint then hit the "+ add color change" again resulting in 3rd color slider appearing in the interface. I then hit the red trash can button next to the 3rd color change slider to remove it from the interface. I THEN hit the "download .gcode" button and save the resulting file. This resulted in a functional gcode file with proper filament changes in the desired layers. This result is repeatable. I have done this to three different gcodes with consistant results. Im using the lated version of Slic3r PE. Seems that hitting the "+ add color change" button "locks in" the previous color change code properly. Curious if this works for others.
