How do I start a print without initial Z calibration?
Hello,
I am working on a project of mine where I change the filament throughout the print. I am aware of the change filament option, and I know that there are sources like prusa control and so on that can generate a gcode that does that. I am trying to print different colors on the same layer within a layer height of 0.2. My gcode files are ready and good to go. The only issue is that when I start the print, the calibration gets in the way of my print.
If I can disable it before printing it will solve my problem. Is there any way to do that?
Thanks

You will need something like this setup:

True, this is one approach, but it seems like he's only doing it for one face. I am trying to change the filament towards the top of my print. This is why I want to start my print without the initial calibration that the prusa does.
Is there a way to disable the calibration?

Remove a couple of gcode commands in the startup gcode... but I won't be responsible for any carnage if you try removing them.

G80 ; mesh bed leveling

This works just like a manual MMU where you make the items to have different colours different bodies/STLs in your model. It is not restricted to top layers.
